Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Brookfield Station
The score leans hardest on tenant organizing strength at 7.5/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Knightdale eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Wake County average of 5.3 and above the North Carolina statewide average of 5.3. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.
The tract is Black and White and ranks around the 73rd percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a middle-of-the-pack reading for social vulnerability.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 404 eviction filings here over 2 tracked years, with about 19.3% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 20.8% of renter households in 2015.
