Oak Crest maps to a single census tract in Wilson, NC, population 3,332. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 9.2/10.
38% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, above the Wilson rate of 28.4%. Running cool is economic stress, at 2.1/10.
Severe burden reaches 16%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.2/10. At $1,031 a month, rents sit 6% over what the rest of Wilson commands.
Among the 12 mapped neighborhoods of Wilson, it ranks #9 by risk, the lower third. Only 19% 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.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Dew Field and Brookside Manor. Rent takes 15% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
