Alston Ridge is a one-tract neighborhood of Fuquay-Varina, NC, population 5,583. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, in the Lower tier. 50% 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.
Against a Fuquay-Varina baseline of 27.5%, around two-thirds of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1.2/10. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.2/10.
The filing record is not thin: 60 evictions logged in this tract. Food insecurity affects 6.1% of adults, 11.7 points below the national rate.
4.1% 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 2016, when filings touched 9.7% of renter households.
At $1,825 a month, rents sit 6% over what the rest of Fuquay-Varina commands. That places it #10 of 11 neighborhoods in Fuquay-Varina. Judgments average 4.0% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
At 18% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
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.
