Food insecurity affects 6.5% of adults, 11.3 points below the national rate. The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 2.7% of renter households. Among the 39 mapped neighborhoods of Cary, it ranks #11 by risk, the upper third.
Judgments average 1.3% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. At 10% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
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.
