Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Scottish Hills
The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 9/10. Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10.
On the softer side, economic stress reads 1/10. Food insecurity runs 6.4% against 17.8% nationally.
SNAP participation runs 4.4% against 15.2% nationally. The severe-burden share is 12%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.
It sits 1.0 points below the Wake County average of 4.0. Court records carry 7 eviction filings across 2 observed years. Filings peaked in 2015 at 1.8% of renter households.
In a typical year about 1.7% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
At 14% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 2.8/10.
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.
