Brookfield Station maps to a single census tract in Knightdale, NC and houses 8,212 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.9/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Against a Knightdale baseline of 27.6%, about half of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The main counterweight is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.2/10. The severe-burden share is 16%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 2.3/10. The filing record is not thin: 404 evictions logged in this tract.
Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 7.5/10. At $1,430 a month, rents sit 15% under what the rest of Knightdale commands.
The worst year on record was 2015, when filings touched 20.8% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 17.8% in 2016 against a 20.8% peak. Among the 4 mapped neighborhoods of Knightdale, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Covington Cross and Village at Beaver Dam. Social vulnerability runs high at 7.5/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $72,105.
33% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 4.9/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
