Linford Park maps to a single census tract in Belmont, NC and houses 2,363 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.3/10, Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 63% against 29.7% citywide, putting Linford Park 33.2% over its own city.
Severe burden reaches 35%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The main counterweight is supply constraint, at 1.3/10.
Set annual rent against average household income of $41,492 and the ratio lands at 33%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.1/10.
The poverty rate is 20%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. The filing record is not thin: 412 evictions logged in this tract.
Average gross rent is $1,153, 16% below the Belmont average of $1,365. Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 7.2/10.
Filing activity peaked in 2015 at 11.8% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 9.1% in 2017 against a 11.8% peak. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.2/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
44% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
