Dutchman's Ridge takes in 2 census tracts of Mount Holly, NC, population 4,140. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.2/10, in the Lower tier. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.6/10.
Average gross rent is $1,013, 19% below the Mount Holly average of $1,256. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.5/10.
Rent consumes at least 30% of income for 33% of renter households. Severe burden reaches 9%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 7/10.
Among the 6 mapped neighborhoods of Mount Holly, it ranks #6 by risk, the lower third. Only 21% 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.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Springs Creek and Riverfront Homes & Marina. Rent takes 14% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.3 points apart at the extremes.
With little internal variation, 3.2/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
