College Park is a one-tract neighborhood of Raleigh, NC and houses 3,310 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.3/10, Lower tier. Pulling the other way is supply constraint, at 1/10.
At $1,038 a month, rents sit 34% under what the rest of Raleigh commands. Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10. Severe burden reaches 16%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Running cool is economic stress, at 2.1/10. Cost burden runs 37% against 30.9% citywide, putting College Park 5.9% over its own city.
The filing record is not thin: 147 evictions logged in this tract. Filing activity peaked in 2016 at 13.4% of renter households.
Among the 107 mapped neighborhoods of Raleigh, it ranks #85 by risk, the lower third. Judgments average 6.3% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. The closest comparables inside the same city are Camden Park and Hi-Mount.
Rent takes 9% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. 46% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
