· range 4.3–4.3
Wayneridge maps to a single census tract in Raleigh, NC, population 3,914. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.3/10, in the Moderate tier. This is a renter market: 75% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.
The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.9/10. Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10.
16% 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. Rent consumes at least 30% of income for 33% of renter households. SNAP participation is 6.9% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
Average gross rent is $1,422, 10% below the Raleigh average of $1,572. That places it #63 of 107 neighborhoods in Raleigh.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Laurel Hills and Berkeley Spring Senior Rental Housing. Rent takes 19% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
