Running cool, economic stress reads 1/10. Severe burden reaches 15%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Against the Wake County average of 4.0, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.0 points.

Housing insecurity runs 5.0% against 14.2% nationally. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 6 filings here across 2 tracked years. Against Wake County at 42.7%, 39% of renters here are cost-burdened.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.2% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. The worst year on record was 2016, when 2.2% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 1.6% of renter households face a filing.

On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. At 14% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 1.2/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

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.
