Battle Ridge North Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 9,318 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.3/10 · range 5.3–5.3

Battle Ridge North is a one-tract neighborhood of Raleigh, NC and houses 9,318 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5.3/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. The severe-burden share is 35%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

42% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well above the Raleigh rate of 30.9%. At $2,061 a month, rents sit 31% over what the rest of Raleigh commands.

Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10. The voucher gap is 16.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Among the 107 mapped neighborhoods of Raleigh, it ranks #38 by risk, the middle third.

Only 24% 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. For a like-for-like read, Sunset Terrace and Crescent Ridge score within a fraction of it.

Annual rent works out to 30% of average household income of $82,398.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
