Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Waterford

The score leans hardest on supply constraint at 10/10. Average gross rent is $2,897, 92% above the Durham average.

The voucher gap is 54.8%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 9.4/10. The severe-burden share is 21%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1.7/10. Food insecurity runs 7.5% against 17.8% nationally.

Against the Durham County average of 4.1, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.1 points. SNAP participation runs 5.5% against 15.2% nationally. Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

At 7% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 2.5/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the NC average is 4.0, so this tract runs 1.0 points cooler.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
