Pinewood Forest maps to a single census tract in Burlington, NC, population 5,721. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.5/10, in the Lower tier. Against a Burlington baseline of 28.4%, 54% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.5/10.
13% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. The filing record is not thin: 1,940 evictions logged in this tract. Well under the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength, at 2.5/10.
At $1,188 a month, rents sit 13% over what the rest of Burlington commands. Filing activity peaked in 2010 at 21.0% of renter households.
Recent filings have not receded much: 15.1% in 2018 against a 21.0% peak. Among the 13 mapped neighborhoods of Burlington, it ranks #9 by risk, the lower third.
At 24% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. The closest comparables inside the same city are Cedar Crest and Greenbrier.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.5/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
