Chicopee Hills is a one-tract neighborhood of Durham, NC and houses 6,112 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.4/10, placing it in the Lower tier. 59% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Durham rate of 29.4%.
The severe-burden share is 35%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.5/10.

Among the 58 mapped neighborhoods of Durham, it ranks #38 by risk, the middle third. For a like-for-like read, S H Chandler and Carillon Forest score within a fraction of it. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Average gross rent runs $1,588, close to the Durham average. Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $81,230.
54% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 3.4/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
