Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Brighton
Severe burden reaches 26%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. On the softer side, economic stress reads 1.1/10. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.3/10.
At $1,111 a month, rents run 24% under what the rest of Wendell commands. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 97 filings here across 2 tracked years.
Cost burden runs roughly one in two here against 42.7% across Wake County. The worst year on record was 2015, when 8.6% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 6.8% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 35% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 21% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 7.7/10.
Rent consumes only 16% of average household income of $83,650, an unusually wide affordability cushion.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
