Cotton Place is a one-tract neighborhood of Morrisville, NC and houses 1,699 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.3/10, Moderate tier. Against a Morrisville baseline of 21.6%, 43% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 9.2/10. 81% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over.
15% 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 eviction-process difficulty, at 2.6/10. Court records for this tract carry 51 eviction filings.
On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 2.9/10. The worst year on record was 2015, when filings touched 11.4% of renter households.
At $1,704 a month, rents sit 8% under what the rest of Morrisville commands. The most recent observed rate, 5.2% in 2016, is well off that peak. Among the 5 mapped neighborhoods of Morrisville, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third.
Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $83,444.
One tract means one number: 5.3/10 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.
