Gatewood is a one-tract neighborhood of Raleigh, NC, population 7,294. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.9/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. 65% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the Raleigh rate of 30.9%.
The severe-burden share is 32%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10. That places it #48 of 107 neighborhoods in Raleigh.
Only 24% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. For a like-for-like read, Six Forks Hills and Sussex Place score within a fraction of it. Average gross rent runs $1,561, close to the Raleigh average.
Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $88,981.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.9/10 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.
