Perry Ridge maps to a single census tract in Zebulon, NC, population 4,457. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.8/10, in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 72% against 38.5% citywide, putting Perry Ridge 33.6% over its own city.
The clearest offset is supply constraint, at 1/10. On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 8.7/10. Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 8.5/10.
Average gross rent is $860, 22% below the Zebulon average of $1,109. 14% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.
SNAP participation is 25.6% of households versus 15.2% nationally. 18.0% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Whitley Manor and Hunters Green. Social vulnerability runs high at 9.5/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Against average income of $65,189, annual rent is only 16%, a wide affordability cushion.
45% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.8/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
