Avalon Valley maps to a single census tract in Graham, NC, population 3,609. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.4/10, placing it in the Lower tier. The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 9/10.
Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2/10. On the softer side is economic stress, at 2.2/10. 23% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, below the Graham rate of 28.4%.
12% 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. Court records for this tract carry 1,525 eviction filings.
Filing activity peaked in 2017 at 27.7% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 21.4% in 2018 against a 27.7% peak. At $1,152 a month, rents sit 8% over what the rest of Graham commands.
Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $68,854. 53% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.4/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
