Clear Springs is a one-tract neighborhood of Wake Forest, NC and houses 7,401 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. Cost burden runs 16% against 27.7% citywide, putting Clear Springs 11.5% under its own city.
Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1/10. Average gross rent is $1,162, 27% below the Wake Forest average of $1,596. Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 1.6/10.
SNAP participation is 3.9% of households versus 15.2% nationally. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.6/10.
5.3% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. Among the 10 mapped neighborhoods of Wake Forest, it ranks #6 by risk, the middle third. Only 9% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
Rent takes 9% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 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.
