Recent filings have not receded much: 5.9% in 2017 against a 2.0% peak. That places it #44 of 58 neighborhoods in Durham.
At 3% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. The closest comparables inside the same city are Brightwood Trails and Homeplace III.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
