Margot's Pond maps to a single census tract in Wake Forest, NC, population 5,877. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.2/10, in the Moderate tier. 49% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Wake Forest rate of 27.7%.
Severe burden reaches 37%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Pulling the other way is supply constraint, at 1.4/10.
Average gross rent is $1,128, 29% below the Wake Forest average of $1,596. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.6/10.
The poverty rate is 17%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. That places it #1 of 10 neighborhoods in Wake Forest.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Brewer's Glynn and Woodside at Olde Mill Stream. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.3/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Rent takes 17% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. 55% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 5.2/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
