Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Wellington Place

The dominant input is court filing pressure at 9/10. The severe-burden share is 26%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. On the softer side, economic stress reads 2/10.

Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.2/10. Court records carry 63 eviction filings across 2 observed years. The worst year on record was 2016, when 6.9% of renter households were served.

In a typical year about 6.2% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 33% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 22% 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.

Social vulnerability reads 5.9/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Rent consumes only 17% of average household income of $100,750, an unusually wide affordability cushion. It tracks the Wake County average of 4.0 closely.

Average gross rent is $1,469, close to the Wendell average.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
