Pullen Park Terrace Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 4,534 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.5/10 · range 5.5–5.5

Pullen Park Terrace is a one-tract neighborhood of Raleigh, NC and houses 4,534 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.5/10, in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 100% against 30.9% citywide, putting Pullen Park Terrace 69.1% over its own city.

100% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over. At $954 a month, rents sit 39% under what the rest of Raleigh commands. Pulling the other way is supply constraint, at 1/10.

Severe burden reaches 24%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Annualized rent equals 34% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with.

Food insecurity affects 36.1% of adults, 18.3 points above the national rate. Running cool is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10. 17.0% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

Court records for this tract carry 7 eviction filings. Filing activity peaked in 2015 at 8.9% of renter households.

The most recent observed rate, 4.0% in 2016, is well off that peak. That places it #1 of 107 neighborhoods in Raleigh.

One tract means one number: 5.5/10 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.
