Lochside maps to a single census tract in Durham, NC and houses 6,443 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.8/10, Lower tier. 50% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the Durham rate of 29.4%.
35% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10. On the softer side is economic stress, at 2.7/10.
The filing record is not thin: 2,138 evictions logged in this tract. Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 2.8/10. The worst year on record was 2009, when filings touched 30.8% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 18.3% in 2017, is well off that peak. That places it #30 of 58 neighborhoods in Durham.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Heather Glen and Woodlake. Average gross rent runs $1,465, close to the Durham average.
Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $86,902.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.8/10 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.
