Hinton Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 3,277 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.5/10 · range 5.5–5.5

Hinton is a one-tract neighborhood of Raleigh, NC and houses 3,277 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.5/10, Moderate tier. 40% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.

Annualized rent equals 55% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with. Against a Raleigh baseline of 30.9%, 63% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. The dominant input is economic stress at 10/10.

The poverty rate is 44%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. This is a renter market: 91% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10. The filing record is not thin: 152 evictions logged in this tract. Running cool is supply constraint, at 2.7/10.

At $1,365 a month, rents sit 13% under what the rest of Raleigh commands. Filing activity peaked in 2016 at 8.6% 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. For a like-for-like read, Arden Forest and The Grey score within a fraction of it. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.9/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.5/10 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.
