Gorman maps to a single census tract in Durham, NC, population 8,934. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.4/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10.

Against a Durham baseline of 29.4%, roughly one in three of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. The worst year on record was 2006, when filings touched 45.7% of renter households. Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 3/10.

Only 27% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.5/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Average gross rent runs $1,493, close to the Durham average.
Annual rent works out to 28% of average household income of $63,616.
One tract means one number: 4.4/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
