Hillard Forest Eviction Risk: Lower

Running cool is economic stress, at 1.3/10. Rent consumes at least 30% of income for 28% of renter households. Court records for this tract carry 112 eviction filings.

Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.5/10. Severe burden reaches 11%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

3.9% 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. Food insecurity affects 7.9% of adults, 9.9 points below the national rate.

The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 7.2% of renter households. Among the 39 mapped neighborhoods of Cary, it ranks #11 by risk, the upper third. Judgments average 1.7% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.

Only 25% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Against average income of $176,650, annual rent is only 11%, a wide affordability cushion.

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.
