Westview takes in 2 census tracts of Elon, NC and houses 10,187 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 4.5/10, in the Moderate tier. Severe burden reaches 44%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
about three-quarters of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Elon rate of 51.0%. The voucher gap is 32.2%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
Scores across the 2 constituent tracts range from 3 to 5.3. A 2.3-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. The strongest single driver of the headline number is rent-regulation exposure at 8.3/10.
At $1,609 a month, rents sit 23% under what the rest of Elon commands. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.1/10.
The poverty rate is 21%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Sitting well above the midpoint is housing-court posture at 7.7/10.
Filings are well documented here: 354 across 2 observed tracts. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 7.1% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. Filing activity peaked in 2015 at 8.2% of renter households.
SNAP participation is 6.9% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 4.5 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
