Montclair is a one-tract neighborhood of Cary, NC and houses 6,948 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs 39% against 24.9% citywide, putting Montclair 13.8% over its own city.
The voucher gap is 35.0%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. At $2,380 a month, rents sit 37% over what the rest of Cary commands.
The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1/10.
Sitting well above the midpoint is supply constraint at 8.5/10. 16% 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.
Disability prevalence reaches 17.1% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute. Food insecurity affects 5.3% of adults, 12.5 points below the national rate.
The filing record is not thin: 6 evictions logged in this tract. The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 2.2% of renter households. Among the 39 mapped neighborhoods of Cary, it ranks #11 by risk, the upper third.
One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
