Ramblewood is a one-tract neighborhood of Apex, NC, population 4,214. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1/10.
Rent consumes at least 30% of income for 29% of renter households. 20% 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.
Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.9/10. Food insecurity affects 6.0% of adults, 11.8 points below the national rate. 3.5% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, below a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
Average gross rent is $1,724, 9% below the Apex average of $1,902. That places it #3 of 11 neighborhoods in Apex. Rent takes 19% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. 49% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 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.
