Ridgeway is a one-tract neighborhood of Raleigh, NC and houses 2,144 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1/10.
At $2,075 a month, rents sit 32% over what the rest of Raleigh commands. Running cool is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10.
Severe burden reaches 15%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Food insecurity affects 4.1% of adults, 13.7 points below the national rate. The voucher gap is 17.7%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
SNAP participation is 2.5% of households versus 15.2% nationally. The filing record is not thin: 10 evictions logged in this tract.
Filing activity peaked in 2015 at 1.9% of renter households. 34% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, a little above the Raleigh rate of 30.9%. The most recent observed rate, 0.7% in 2016, is well off that peak.
That places it #89 of 107 neighborhoods in Raleigh. For a like-for-like read, Briarcliff and Lost Valley score within a fraction of it.
One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
