On the high side, regional political climate reads 8.1/10. Food insecurity runs 5.2% against 17.8% nationally.

Against the Durham County average of 4.1, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.1 points. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 2.9% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Rent takes 30% or more of income for 42% of renters.

Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $107,485.
