Cedar Crest spans 2 census tracts of Burlington, NC, population 5,791. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.5/10, Lower tier. Rent consumes at least 30% of income for 30% of renter households.
19% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. The clearest offset is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.2/10.

On the softer side is supply constraint, at 3/10. The most recent observed rate, 13.6% in 2018, is well off that peak. At $971 a month, rents sit 8% under what the rest of Burlington commands.
Among the 13 mapped neighborhoods of Burlington, it ranks #9 by risk, the lower third. The closest comparables inside the same city are Pinewood Forest and Greenbrier. The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.6 points apart at the extremes.
Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $55,801.
With little internal variation, 3.5/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
