A. C. Barefoot Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 5,314 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.5/10 · range 5.5–5.5

A. C. Barefoot is a one-tract neighborhood of Raleigh, NC and houses 5,314 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.5/10, in the Moderate tier. 56% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Raleigh rate of 30.9%.

89% 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. Annualized rent equals 32% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with. 22% 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.

The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10. The poverty rate is 18%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 2.9/10. At $1,398 a month, rents sit 11% under what the rest of Raleigh commands.

Among the 107 mapped neighborhoods of Raleigh, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. The closest comparables inside the same city are Arden Forest and The Grey.

One tract means one number: 5.5/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
