The Boardwalk maps to a single census tract in Dallas, NC, population 2,819. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.6/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. The clearest offset is supply constraint, at 1/10.
Against a Dallas baseline of 37.4%, 46% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 8.1/10.
On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 7.8/10. The filing record is not thin: 300 evictions logged in this tract.
The severe-burden share is 9%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The worst year on record was 2014, when filings touched 6.9% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 7.1% in 2017 against a 6.9% peak.
Against average income of $53,477, annual rent is only 18%, a wide affordability cushion. Average gross rent runs $821, close to the Dallas average.
38% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 4.6/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
