Abron Drive Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 4,898 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Abron Drive is a one-tract neighborhood of Durham, NC and houses 4,898 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.2/10.

39% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, ahead of the Durham rate of 29.4%. Severe burden reaches 20%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10.

The filing record is not thin: 1,724 evictions logged in this tract. Running cool is supply constraint, at 2.8/10. SNAP participation is 6.3% of households versus 15.2% nationally.

Filing activity peaked in 2006 at 21.4% of renter households. Food insecurity affects 9.1% of adults, 8.7 points below the national rate.

The most recent observed rate, 9.0% in 2017, is well off that peak. Among the 58 mapped neighborhoods of Durham, it ranks #44 by risk, the lower third. Rent takes 17% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.

Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
