Analysis

What drives eviction risk in River Bluffs

Pulling hardest the other way is supply constraint at 1/10. Average gross rent is $874, 30% below the Wrightsboro average. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8/10.

Severe burden reaches 16%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. On the softer side, eviction-process difficulty reads 2/10. It sits 0.8 points below the New Hanover County average of 4.0.

On the national scale it lands near the 25th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 5.6/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Rent consumes only 15% of average household income of $67,967, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

25% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
