On the softer side is economic stress, at 2.9/10. Filing activity peaked in 2016 at 10.9% of renter households.
That places it #1 of 107 neighborhoods in Raleigh. Judgments average 4.0% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
Social vulnerability runs high at 7.5/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $58,668.
41% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 5.5/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
