On the high side, regional political climate reads 8.1/10. Food insecurity runs 29.4% against 17.8% nationally. Severe burden reaches 11%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.
The filing record is not thin: 1,818 evictions over 11 years of observation. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 14.9% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Filings peaked in 2005 at 43.0% of renter households.
This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Durham. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. In a typical year about 32.8% of renter households face a filing.
Nationally it ranks #45,786 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
