The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10. Severe burden reaches 19%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 2.3/10.

SNAP participation is 6.8% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity affects 9.5% of adults, 8.3 points below the national rate.
The most recent observed rate, 4.6% in 2017, is well off that peak. At $1,415 a month, rents sit 6% under what the rest of Durham commands.
Among the 58 mapped neighborhoods of Durham, it ranks #31 by risk, the middle third. The closest comparables inside the same city are Heather Glen and Lochside.
Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $83,080.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.7/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
