Everett & Smith Land Eviction Risk: Lower , Raleigh

Running cool, economic stress reads 1.8/10. 18% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Against Wake County at 42.7%, roughly one in three of renters here are cost-burdened.

On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10. SNAP participation runs 3.1% against 15.2% nationally.

Housing insecurity runs 4.8% against 14.2% nationally. The filing record is not thin: 51 evictions over 2 years of observation. Filings peaked in 2015 at 6.3% of renter households.

In a typical year about 4.6% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 31st percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Social vulnerability reads 1.1/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Against average income of $119,223, annual rent is just 17%. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
