15.6% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. SNAP participation is 25.2% of households versus 15.2% nationally. The worst year on record was 2015, when filings touched 17.4% of renter households.
Recent filings have not receded much: 11.8% in 2016 against a 17.4% peak. That places it #32 of 107 neighborhoods in Raleigh.
Social vulnerability runs high at 9.3/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $71,000.
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.
