West Parkland maps to a single census tract in Raleigh, NC, population 4,098. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.5/10, Moderate tier. Cost burden runs about three-quarters against 30.9% citywide, putting West Parkland 42.4% over its own city.
Severe burden reaches 31%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Set annual rent against average household income of $46,361 and the ratio lands at 37%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.
The poverty rate is 33%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. What pushes the score up most is economic stress at 8.1/10.
SNAP participation is 31.4% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10.
CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 25.1% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 3/10.
At $1,416 a month, rents sit 10% under what the rest of Raleigh commands. That places it #1 of 107 neighborhoods in Raleigh.
The closest comparables inside the same city are The Grey and Rollingwood. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.3/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
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.
