The filing record is not thin: 5 evictions logged in this tract. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.5/10.

Recent filings have not receded much: 0.6% in 2016 against a 0.8% peak. That places it #11 of 39 neighborhoods in Cary.
For a like-for-like read, Wellsley and Preston Oaks score within a fraction of it. Against average income of $168,095, annual rent is only 13%, a wide affordability cushion.
Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $1,777, close to the Cary average.
36% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
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.
