Macarthur Park Eviction Risk: Lower

Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1/10. Cost burden runs 17% against 24.9% citywide, putting Macarthur Park 7.7% under its own city. At $2,112 a month, rents sit 22% over what the rest of Cary commands.

The voucher gap is 19.8%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. The severe-burden share is 13%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The filing record is not thin: 2 evictions logged in this tract.

Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.5/10. 3.3% 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.

Filing activity peaked in 2015 at 0.5% of renter households. 4.4% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.

Recent filings have not receded much: 0.5% in 2016 against a 0.5% peak. That places it #11 of 39 neighborhoods in Cary.

One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
