SNAP participation runs 3.6% against 15.2% nationally. Against the Wake County average of 4.0, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.0 points.
Severe burden reaches 9%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Housing insecurity runs 5.9% against 14.2% nationally.
That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 22% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 2.8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
Against average income of $137,396, annual rent is just 16%. Statewide the NC average is 4.0, so this tract runs 1.0 points cooler. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.
Poverty sits at 1%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
