Arden Forest maps to a single census tract in Raleigh, NC, population 3,303. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.5/10, Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 57% against 30.9% citywide, putting Arden Forest 25.9% over its own city.
28% 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.

Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 3/10. SNAP participation is 7.1% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
Food insecurity affects 9.3% of adults, 8.5 points below the national rate. At $1,419 a month, rents sit 10% under what the rest of Raleigh commands. That places it #1 of 107 neighborhoods in Raleigh.
Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $76,544. 54% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.5/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
