Watts Hospital-Hillandale maps to a single census tract in Durham, NC, population 2,551. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. The severe-burden share is 25%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
29% of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10.

Among the 58 mapped neighborhoods of Durham, it ranks #44 by risk, the lower third. Only 20% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Rent takes 17% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
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.
