Sherwood Forest is a one-tract neighborhood of Glen Raven, NC and houses 3,857 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Pulling the other way is supply constraint, at 1.4/10.
Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 2.3/10. Against a Glen Raven baseline of 22.3%, 28% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.4/10. Court records for this tract carry 408 eviction filings. The poverty rate is 17%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
Severe burden reaches 10%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The worst year on record was 2003, when filings touched 8.7% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 5.0% in 2018, is well off that peak. Rent takes 17% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Average gross rent runs $784, close to the Glen Raven average. 36% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4/10 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.
