Kings Crest is a one-tract neighborhood of Raleigh, NC and houses 4,949 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.7/10, in the Lower tier. Severe burden reaches 39%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Against a Raleigh baseline of 30.9%, around two-thirds of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.8/10.
Running cool is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 6.7% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.
Food insecurity affects 7.7% of adults, 10.1 points below the national rate. Among the 107 mapped neighborhoods of Raleigh, it ranks #73 by risk, the lower third. At 26% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
For a like-for-like read, Pebble Ridge and The Cascades score within a fraction of it. Rent takes 16% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Average gross rent runs $1,482, close to the Raleigh average.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.7/10 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.
