Woodcroft maps to a single census tract in Durham, NC and houses 2,860 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.1/10, Lower tier. 27% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.
39% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, above the Durham rate of 29.4%. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.9/10. Running cool is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10.
The filing record is not thin: 2,078 evictions logged in this tract. SNAP participation is 4.4% of households versus 15.2% nationally. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2.7/10.
The worst year on record was 2010, when filings touched 47.3% of renter households. 5.0% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. The most recent observed rate, 10.1% in 2017, is well off that peak.
Among the 58 mapped neighborhoods of Durham, it ranks #41 by risk, the lower third. The closest comparables inside the same city are Kitts Creek and 55 at the Park. Against average income of $102,218, annual rent is only 17%, a wide affordability cushion.
Average gross rent runs $1,445, close to the Durham average.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.1/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
