Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Braggtown
Against Durham County at 43.8%, 54% of renters here are cost-burdened. Running hot, regional political climate reads 8.1/10.
Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10. The severe-burden share is 14%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. It sits 1.1 points above the Durham County average of 4.1.
The poverty rate is 19%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. The filing record is not thin: 4,862 evictions over 11 years of observation.
Average gross rent is $1,304, 14% below the Durham average. Filings peaked in 2006 at 66.2% of renter households. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Durham. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.
In a typical year about 43.2% of renter households face a filing.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
