At $850 a month, rents sit 34% under what the rest of Mebane commands. The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 8.3/10. Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 2/10.
Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.3/10. Court records for this tract carry 359 eviction filings.
The worst year on record was 2002, when filings touched 20.2% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 6.5% in 2018, is well off that peak. Only 13% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
Rent takes 13% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
One tract means one number: 3.2/10 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.
