Trinity Square is a one-tract neighborhood of Raleigh, NC and houses 6,263 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.2/10, Moderate tier. This is a renter market: 81% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

Against a Raleigh baseline of 30.9%, 41% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10.

For a like-for-like read, North Haven and Sunset Terrace score within a fraction of it. Average gross rent runs $1,659, close to the Raleigh average.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.2/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
