Boylan Heights Eviction Risk: Moderate
1 census tracts · pop 2,599 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.4/10 · range 5.4–5.4
Boylan Heights is a one-tract neighborhood of Raleigh, NC, population 2,599. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.4/10, in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 55% against 30.9% citywide, putting Boylan Heights 23.6% over its own city.
71% 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. 23% 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.
Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10. Court records for this tract carry 92 eviction filings. Running cool is supply constraint, at 3/10.
SNAP participation is 6.5% of households versus 15.2% nationally. The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 4.0% of renter households.
Food insecurity affects 8.9% of adults, 8.9 points below the national rate. At $1,404 a month, rents sit 11% under what the rest of Raleigh commands. That places it #32 of 107 neighborhoods in Raleigh.
Judgments average 1.3% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $71,218.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.4/10 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.
