· range 3.8–3.8
Deerfield maps to a single census tract in Mount Holly, NC and houses 2,453 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.8/10, placing it in the Lower tier. 22% 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.
The main counterweight is supply constraint, at 2.1/10. 30% of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.5/10.
Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 7/10. Among the 6 mapped neighborhoods of Mount Holly, it ranks #2 by risk, the upper third. Only 11% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
Against average income of $80,000, annual rent is only 19%, a wide affordability cushion. Average gross rent runs $1,294, close to the Mount Holly average.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.8/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
