Angel Oaks Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 3,142 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.3/10 · range 4.3–4.3

Angel Oaks is a one-tract neighborhood of Winston-Salem, NC and houses 3,142 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.3/10, in the Moderate tier. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.

This is a renter market: 70% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Severe burden reaches 19%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Against a Winston-Salem baseline of 30.4%, 37% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

The filing record is not thin: 581 evictions logged in this tract. At $929 a month, rents sit 15% under what the rest of Winston-Salem commands.

On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 3/10. 14.7% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

SNAP participation is 23.8% of households versus 15.2% nationally. The worst year on record was 2005, when filings touched 26.4% of renter households. Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 3/10.

Recent filings have not receded much: 17.9% in 2012 against a 26.4% peak.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
