Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Kings Grant

The heaviest input here is rent-control risk at 9.6/10. 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 Kings Grant, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.

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

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 1,536 eviction filings here over 12 tracked years, with about 11.0% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 14.4% of renter households in 2011.

The tract is White and Hispanic or Latino and ranks around the 53rd 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.
