Parkwood Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 4,948 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Parkwood is a one-tract neighborhood of Durham, NC, population 4,948. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1.3/10.

Running cool is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10. Court records for this tract carry 480 eviction filings. 25% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, under the Durham rate of 29.4%.

SNAP participation is 5.5% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity affects 8.0% of adults, 9.8 points below the national rate. Average gross rent is $1,691, 12% above the Durham average of $1,508.

The worst year on record was 2013, when filings touched 15.9% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 6.4% in 2017, is well off that peak. That places it #44 of 58 neighborhoods in Durham.

At 11% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. For a like-for-like read, Brightwood Trails and Homeplace III score within a fraction of it. Rent takes 17% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.

Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
