Crest Street Eviction Risk: Moderate , Durham

The dominant input is court filing pressure at 9.4/10. Set annual rent against average income of $41,027 and the ratio lands at 40%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Running hot, economic stress reads 9.1/10.

The poverty rate is 36%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. The severe-burden share is 24%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Sitting well above the midpoint, regional political climate reads 8.1/10.

Against the Durham County average of 4.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.3 points. Food insecurity runs 26.2% against 17.8% nationally. 39% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, lower than the Durham County average of 43.8%.

SNAP participation runs 22.6% against 15.2% nationally. At $1,383 a month, rents run 8% under what the rest of Durham commands. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.

Nationally it ranks #24,859 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Social vulnerability reads 8.3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the NC average is 4.0, so this tract runs 1.4 points hotter.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
