Jacksonville Eviction Risk: Elevated

It sits 2.1 points above the Onslow County average of 4.7. At $925 a month, rents run 30% under what the rest of Jacksonville commands. 17% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2.3/10. The poverty rate is 22%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 7.6/10.

Food insecurity runs 28.1% against 17.8% nationally. The filing record is not thin: 1,812 evictions over 18 years of observation.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 14.8% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. The worst year on record was 2015, when 22.0% of renter households were served.

In a typical year about 13.6% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #13,812 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the NC average is 4.0, so this tract runs 2.8 points hotter.
