Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Lochmere Highlands

On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1/10. Food insecurity runs 4.2% against 17.8% nationally.

Against the Wake County average of 4.0, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.0 points. The filing record is not thin: 2 evictions over 1 years of observation.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 2.7% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. The worst year on record was 2015, when 3.6% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 3.6% of renter households face a filing.

Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Only 1% 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.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 1.2/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the NC average is 4.0, so this tract runs 1.0 points cooler. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.

Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
