Fairway North is a one-tract neighborhood of Raleigh, NC, population 6,593. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.4/10, Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 42% against 30.9% citywide, putting Fairway North 10.7% over its own city.
75% 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. The severe-burden share is 21%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10. Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 2.4/10.
Average gross rent is $1,298, 17% below the Raleigh average of $1,572. The filing record is not thin: 1,031 evictions logged in this tract.
Running cool is economic stress, at 2.8/10. Filing activity peaked in 2015 at 26.4% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 21.1% in 2016 against a 26.4% peak.
Among the 107 mapped neighborhoods of Raleigh, it ranks #32 by risk, the upper third. Social vulnerability runs high at 9.1/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $63,736.
One tract means one number: 5.4/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
