Severe burden reaches 37%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The main counterweight is supply constraint, at 1.1/10.
At $1,084 a month, rents sit 31% under what the rest of Raleigh commands. On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10.
Court records for this tract carry 265 eviction filings. Filing activity peaked in 2015 at 14.3% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 13.9% in 2016 against a 14.3% peak.
That places it #1 of 107 neighborhoods in Raleigh. The closest comparables inside the same city are Arden Forest and The Grey. Social vulnerability runs high at 9.1/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $57,021. 34% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.5/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
