Stoney Creek maps to a single census tract in Raleigh, NC, population 7,937. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.4/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1/10.
Against a Raleigh baseline of 30.9%, 41% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. Running cool is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10.
The severe-burden share is 12%. 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 247 eviction filings. The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 22.3% of renter households.
That places it #57 of 107 neighborhoods in Raleigh. Judgments average 10.4% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Laurel Hills and Berkeley Spring Senior Rental Housing. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Average gross rent runs $1,629, close to the Raleigh average. Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $72,676.
29% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 4.4/10 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.
