Green Park maps to a single census tract in Hickory, NC, population 2,276. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 8.6/10.
Average gross rent is $775, 27% below the Hickory average of $1,063. Against a Hickory baseline of 26.0%, 18% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.9/10. 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.
On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2.4/10. The filing record is not thin: 843 evictions logged in this tract.
The poverty rate is 17%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. SNAP participation is 24.3% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
Filing activity peaked in 2017 at 10.3% of renter households. Food insecurity affects 26.7% of adults, 8.9 points above the national rate.
Recent filings have not receded much: 7.8% in 2018 against a 10.3% peak. Among the 8 mapped neighborhoods of Hickory, it ranks #4 by risk, the middle third.
Social vulnerability runs high at 9.5/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
