Analysis
What drives eviction risk in University Suites
The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. 85% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.
Against New Hanover County at 48.2%, 60% of renters here are cost-burdened. Set annual rent against average income of $41,552 and the ratio lands at 38%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8/10.
The poverty rate is 25%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. It sits 1.4 points above the New Hanover County average of 4.0. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2.3/10.
Court records carry 4,373 eviction filings across 12 observed years. SNAP participation runs 22.5% against 15.2% nationally. Filings peaked in 2008 at 30.2% of renter households.
In a typical year about 20.9% of renter households face a filing.
