Southern Terrace is a one-tract neighborhood of Princeville, NC and houses 2,090 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.4/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. SNAP participation is 37.0% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
Cost burden runs 45% against 34.8% citywide, putting Southern Terrace 10.0% over its own city. The main counterweight is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.8/10. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 26.8% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.
On the high side is housing-court posture at 8.1/10. The poverty rate is 23%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 7.7/10. The severe-burden share is 13%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
The filing record is not thin: 499 evictions logged in this tract. Average gross rent is $936, 15% below the Princeville average of $1,103.
Filing activity peaked in 2002 at 144.1% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 16.8% in 2018, is well off that peak.
At 24% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability runs high at 9.5/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $41,146.
One tract means one number: 4.4/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
