Carolina Beach Eviction Risk: Lower

The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 8/10. On the softer side, state political climate reads 2.3/10. The severe-burden share is 14%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.5/10. SNAP participation runs 5.8% against 15.2% nationally. The filing record is not thin: 342 evictions over 12 years of observation.

Housing insecurity runs 6.3% against 14.2% nationally. The worst year on record was 2006, when 10.6% of renter households were served.

In a typical year about 6.1% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #57,812 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Only 22% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

Social vulnerability reads 2.7/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

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.
