Traditions Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 3,363 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.6/10 · range 3.6–3.6

Traditions maps to a single census tract in Wake Forest, NC and houses 3,363 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.6/10, placing it in the Lower tier. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1/10.

Rent consumes at least 30% of income for roughly one in four of renter households. Average gross rent is $1,092, 32% below the Wake Forest average of $1,596.

Running cool is supply constraint, at 1.2/10. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 6.3% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.6/10.

SNAP participation is 4.6% of households versus 15.2% nationally. That places it #5 of 10 neighborhoods in Wake Forest. Only 27% 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.

Against average income of $88,482, annual rent is only 15%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

One tract means one number: 3.6/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
