Bridalcreek maps to a single census tract in Winston-Salem, NC and houses 5,666 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. Against a Winston-Salem baseline of 30.4%, 42% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. On the softer side is economic stress, at 1.5/10.
Severe burden reaches 21%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The filing record is not thin: 756 evictions logged in this tract.
SNAP participation is 6.2% of households versus 15.2% nationally. The worst year on record was 2006, when filings touched 80.5% of renter households.
Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 3/10. Food insecurity affects 9.1% of adults, 8.7 points below the national rate.
The most recent observed rate, 31.1% in 2012, is well off that peak. Among the 26 mapped neighborhoods of Winston-Salem, it ranks #21 by risk, the lower third. Only 21% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
For a like-for-like read, Forsyth Forest and Twin Cedars Laurel Park score within a fraction of it. Against average income of $101,068, annual rent is only 14%, a wide affordability cushion.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 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.
