DeGraffenried Park spans 3 census tracts of New Bern, NC and houses 9,565 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 4.7/10, in the Moderate tier. 61% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the New Bern rate of 28.7%.
23% 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. Pulling the other way is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.7/10. Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 8.1/10.
Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 4.2 to 5.5, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. Court records carry 232 eviction filings across its 3 observed tracts.
The poverty rate is 16%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. The worst year on record was 2018, when filings touched 7.5% of renter households.
That places it #2 of 4 neighborhoods in New Bern. Judgments average 2.5% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
Social vulnerability runs high at 9/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Average gross rent runs $1,120, close to the New Bern average.
Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $49,209. 47% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 4.7 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
