Meredith Townes Eviction Risk: Moderate

The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.5/10. Running cool is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10.

The severe-burden share is 16%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Court records for this tract carry 283 eviction filings.

SNAP participation is 4.2% of households versus 15.2% nationally. 4.0% 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.

Filing activity peaked in 2015 at 12.9% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 8.4% in 2016 against a 12.9% peak. Average gross rent is $1,456, 7% below the Raleigh average of $1,572.

Among the 107 mapped neighborhoods of Raleigh, it ranks #56 by risk, the middle third. For a like-for-like read, Pickwick Village and Berkeley Spring Senior Rental Housing score within a fraction of it. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $78,300.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.5/10 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.
