Bryson maps to a single census tract in Raleigh, NC and houses 5,255 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.5/10, in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 56% against 30.9% citywide, putting Bryson 24.8% over its own city.
32% 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 worst year on record was 2015, when filings touched 38.7% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 23.9% in 2016 against a 38.7% peak.
Among the 107 mapped neighborhoods of Raleigh, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.3/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Average gross rent runs $1,596, close to the Raleigh average.
Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $76,575. 52% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
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.
