River's Edge maps to a single census tract in Durham, NC and houses 5,204 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, in the Lower tier. 42% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well above the Durham rate of 29.4%.
Average gross rent is $2,002, 33% above the Durham average of $1,508. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1.4/10. Severe burden reaches 24%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Running cool is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10. Food insecurity affects 5.2% of adults, 12.6 points below the national rate.
5.2% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. That places it #44 of 58 neighborhoods in Durham. For a like-for-like read, Homeplace III and Black Horse Run score within a fraction of it.
Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $107,485.
47% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 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.
