Trailwood Hills Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 3,739 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.5/10 · range 5.5–5.5

Trailwood Hills maps to a single census tract in Raleigh, NC and houses 3,739 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.5/10, Moderate tier. 33% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.

The strongest single driver of the headline number is economic stress at 8.8/10. The poverty rate is 35%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. This is a renter market: 72% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

Against a Raleigh baseline of 30.9%, 39% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10. At $1,918 a month, rents sit 22% over what the rest of Raleigh commands.

Among the 107 mapped neighborhoods of Raleigh, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. Annual rent works out to 31% of average household income of $75,357.

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.
