Fairview Hills is a one-tract neighborhood of Raleigh, NC, population 1,345. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.5/10, in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 63% against 30.9% citywide, putting Fairview Hills 32.3% over its own city.
36% 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 dominant input is economic stress at 10/10. The poverty rate is 44%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
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. Running cool is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10.
SNAP participation is 24.1% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Among the 107 mapped neighborhoods of Raleigh, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. Average gross rent runs $1,635, close to the Raleigh average.
Annual rent works out to 30% of average household income of $64,911.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.5/10 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.
