Stevens Oaks is a one-tract neighborhood of Garner, NC, population 7,645. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.9/10, in the Lower tier. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1/10.
26% 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. Running cool is supply constraint, at 1.1/10. Average gross rent is $1,070, 31% below the Garner average of $1,549.
roughly one in four of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, under the Garner rate of 31.6%. The filing record is not thin: 33 evictions logged in this tract. On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 7.4/10.
The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 5.7% of renter households. SNAP participation is 7.0% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
Among the 11 mapped neighborhoods of Garner, it ranks #9 by risk, the lower third. Judgments average 2.9% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
Only 11% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Rent takes 14% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
One tract means one number: 3.9/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
