Kitts Creek maps to a single census tract in Durham, NC, population 6,192. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.1/10, placing it in the Lower tier. Against a Durham baseline of 29.4%, 46% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1/10. This is a renter market: 74% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10.
The severe-burden share is 13%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Disability prevalence reaches 18.4% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute. Food insecurity affects 8.5% of adults, 9.3 points below the national rate.
At $1,640 a month, rents sit 9% over what the rest of Durham commands. That places it #41 of 58 neighborhoods in Durham.
For a like-for-like read, Woodcroft and 55 at the Park score within a fraction of it. Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $81,647.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.1/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
