Analysis
What drives eviction risk in West End
The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 9.4/10. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1/10. The severe-burden share is 20%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.
Average gross rent is $1,117, 26% below the Durham average. Sitting well above the midpoint, regional political climate reads 8.1/10. Court records carry 4,118 eviction filings across 11 observed years.
The worst year on record was 2005, when 49.6% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.
In a typical year about 32.0% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 51% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
Social vulnerability reads 4.5/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Rent consumes only 18% of average household income of $75,208, an unusually wide affordability cushion.
