Woodberry is a one-tract neighborhood of Durham, NC, population 3,767. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs 43% against 29.4% citywide, putting Woodberry 13.5% over its own city.
The severe-burden share is 31%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1/10. On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10.
SNAP participation is 2.4% of households versus 15.2% nationally. 2.6% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, below a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
Court records for this tract carry 221 eviction filings. Running cool is supply constraint, at 2.7/10. Filing activity peaked in 2015 at 31.8% of renter households.
Recent filings have not receded much: 89.7% in 2017 against a 31.8% peak. That places it #44 of 58 neighborhoods in Durham. At 7% 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.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
