Wilmington Eviction Risk: Moderate

The score leans hardest on housing court bias at 3.5/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Wilmington eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores about the same as the New Hanover County average of 5.2 and below the North Carolina statewide average of 5.3. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 884 eviction filings here over 12 tracked years, with about 12.5% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 14.7% of renter households in 2007.

The tract is predominantly White and ranks around the 47th percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a middle-of-the-pack reading for social vulnerability.

For a landlord, conditions here are middle-of-the-road. Standard screening and prompt, documented notices usually keep cases short.
