Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Huntersville
What moves this score most is economic stress at $1/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Norfolk City County average of 5.1 and above the Virginia statewide average of 5.3. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 270 eviction filings here over 2 tracked years, with about 18.3% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 21.8% of renter households in 2016.
In CDC survey modeling, about 42.9% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 36.5% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.
For a landlord, conditions here are middle-of-the-road. Standard screening and prompt, documented notices usually keep cases short.
