Goodwood Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 3,611 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.2/10 · range 3.2–3.2

Goodwood is a one-tract neighborhood of Cary, NC and houses 3,611 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.2/10, in the Lower tier. roughly one in two of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the Cary rate of 24.9%.

The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Running cool is economic stress, at 1/10.

The filing record is not thin: 41 evictions logged in this tract. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.5/10.

CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 7.1% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. Severe burden reaches 9%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Food insecurity affects 7.7% of adults, 10.1 points below the national rate.

The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 3.7% of renter households. At $1,569 a month, rents sit 10% under what the rest of Cary commands. Among the 39 mapped neighborhoods of Cary, it ranks #10 by risk, the upper third.

Judgments average 1.4% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. For a like-for-like read, Farren Forest and Wellsley score within a fraction of it.

Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.2/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
