Heavenridge Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 3,805 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Heavenridge is a one-tract neighborhood of Raleigh, NC, population 3,805. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, in the Lower tier. Average gross rent is $3,501, 123% above the Raleigh average of $1,572.

The strongest single driver of the headline number is supply constraint at 10/10. The voucher gap is 98.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.

On the softer side is economic stress, at 1/10. Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10.

Food insecurity affects 4.3% of adults, 13.5 points below the national rate. Court records for this tract carry 3 eviction filings. 2.8% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, below a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

The worst year on record was 2015, when filings touched 11.1% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 2.4% in 2016, is well off that peak.

That places it #89 of 107 neighborhoods in Raleigh. Only 2% 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.

Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $197,115.

One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
