Forsyth Forest maps to a single census tract in Winston-Salem, NC and houses 4,085 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs about half against 30.4% citywide, putting Forsyth Forest 17.2% over its own city.
Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. On the softer side is economic stress, at 1.1/10.
Severe burden reaches 19%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. At $1,219 a month, rents sit 12% over what the rest of Winston-Salem commands.
Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 3/10. That places it #21 of 26 neighborhoods in Winston-Salem. For a like-for-like read, Bridalcreek and Twin Cedars Laurel Park score within a fraction of it.
Against average income of $80,781, annual rent is only 18%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. 34% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
