Andover is a one-tract neighborhood of Cary, NC and houses 3,586 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
Running cool is economic stress, at 1/10. roughly one in four of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent. 19% 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.
Court records for this tract carry 34 eviction filings. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.5/10.
SNAP participation is 5.5% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity affects 8.0% of adults, 9.8 points below the national rate.
The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 5.5% of renter households. Average gross rent is $1,551, 11% below the Cary average of $1,738. Among the 39 mapped neighborhoods of Cary, it ranks #11 by risk, the upper third.
Judgments average 4.2% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. At 26% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. The closest comparables inside the same city are Wellsley and Marquis at Cary Parkway.
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.
