Average gross rent is $1,437, 9% below the Raleigh average of $1,572. That places it #48 of 107 neighborhoods in Raleigh. Judgments average 3.8% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.9/10 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.
