Chari Heights maps to a single census tract in Fuquay-Varina, NC, population 6,149. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, in the Lower tier. Against a Fuquay-Varina baseline of 27.5%, 57% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
Average gross rent is $889, 48% below the Fuquay-Varina average of $1,720. Pulling the other way is supply constraint, at 1/10.
27% 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. On the softer side is economic stress, at 1.4/10.
Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.2/10. The filing record is not thin: 48 evictions logged in this tract. SNAP participation is 6.6% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
The worst year on record was 2015, when filings touched 8.2% of renter households. Food insecurity affects 9.3% of adults, 8.5 points below the national rate.
The most recent observed rate, 4.0% in 2016, is well off that peak. Among the 11 mapped neighborhoods of Fuquay-Varina, it ranks #10 by risk, the lower third. At 11% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Alston Ridge and McKenzie.
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.
