Saratoga Park maps to a single census tract in Cary, NC and houses 2,288 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. 49% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Cary rate of 24.9%.
The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Running cool is economic stress, at 1/10.
The voucher gap is 25.8%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. At $2,217 a month, rents sit 28% over what the rest of Cary commands.
Food insecurity affects 4.7% of adults, 13.1 points below the national rate. On the high side is supply constraint at 7.6/10. The severe-burden share is 12%. 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. 3.2% 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. The worst year on record was 2015, when filings touched 2.6% of renter households.
Recent filings have not receded much: 2.6% in 2016 against a 2.6% 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.
