Carolton Eviction Risk: Lower , Raleigh

Against Wake County at 42.7%, 30% of renters here are cost-burdened. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1/10.

Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 2/10. 13% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Food insecurity runs 7.6% against 17.8% nationally. SNAP participation runs 5.2% against 15.2% nationally.

At 18% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 2.7/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Rent consumes only 10% of average household income of $175,852, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
