Hunting Hills Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 6,682 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.8/10 · range 4.8–4.8

Hunting Hills is a one-tract neighborhood of Burlington, NC, population 6,682. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.8/10, Moderate tier. Against a Burlington baseline of 28.4%, 40% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. The poverty rate is 28%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Food insecurity affects 34.4% of adults, 16.6 points above the national rate.

18.4% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2.1/10.

Severe burden reaches 15%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Average gross rent is $867, 18% below the Burlington average of $1,051. The filing record is not thin: 2,186 evictions logged in this tract.

Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.5/10. Filing activity peaked in 2015 at 18.1% of renter households.

Recent filings have not receded much: 14.9% in 2018 against a 18.1% peak.

One tract means one number: 4.8/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
