Against the Onslow County average of 4.7, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.1 points. On the high side, economic stress reads 8.8/10.

This is renter territory: 68% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Average gross rent is $1,031, 22% below the Jacksonville average. On the softer side, state political climate reads 2.3/10.

Food insecurity runs 28.2% against 17.8% nationally. Court records carry 2,709 eviction filings across 18 observed years.
