Eastgate maps to a single census tract in Raleigh, NC and houses 6,598 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.5/10, Moderate tier. Against a Raleigh baseline of 30.9%, around two-thirds of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
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. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10.
On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2/10. Average gross rent is $1,228, 22% below the Raleigh average of $1,572. The filing record is not thin: 664 evictions logged in this tract.
Running cool is economic stress, at 2.7/10. The worst year on record was 2015, when filings touched 28.7% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 20.2% in 2016 against a 28.7% peak.
Among the 107 mapped neighborhoods of Raleigh, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. The closest comparables inside the same city are The Grey and Lands End at Eaglechase.
Social vulnerability runs high at 7.8/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
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.
