Greenhaven maps to a single census tract in Winston-Salem, NC and houses 8,393 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 5/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Winston-Salem baseline of 30.4%, 45% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The severe-burden share is 29%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. The poverty rate is 25%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
SNAP participation is 28.3% of households versus 15.2% nationally. 16.0% 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.
The filing record is not thin: 1,160 evictions logged in this tract. Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 3/10. The worst year on record was 2005, when filings touched 32.2% of renter households.
Recent filings have not receded much: 37.6% in 2012 against a 32.2% peak. That places it #1 of 26 neighborhoods in Winston-Salem.
Social vulnerability runs high at 9.6/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Average gross rent runs $1,070, close to the Winston-Salem average.
One tract means one number: 5/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
