Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Brentwood Forest
27% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 9.2/10.
The poverty rate is 32%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. 73% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.
Sitting well above the midpoint, economic stress reads 8.1/10. SNAP participation runs 27.4% against 15.2% nationally. Against the Wilson County average of 4.3, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.3 points.
Housing insecurity runs 21.6% against 14.2% nationally. On the national scale it lands near the 73rd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 8.6/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
Statewide the NC average is 4.0, so this tract runs 1.6 points hotter. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
