Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Ellendale

The filing record is not thin: 108 evictions over 2 years of observation. Severe burden reaches 8%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Nationally it ranks #42,813 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Only 14% 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. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 7.2/10.

It tracks the Wake County average of 4.0 closely. Average gross rent is $1,666, close to the Knightdale average.

Annual rent works out to 18% of average household income of $110,236.
