Monticello Park Eviction Risk: Moderate

3 census tracts · pop 11,941 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.5/10 · range 3.9–5

Monticello Park is a 3-tract neighborhood of Winston-Salem, NC, population 11,941. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.5/10, Moderate tier. Severe burden reaches 39%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

56% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Winston-Salem rate of 30.4%. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.

20.5% 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. Food insecurity affects 35.6% of adults, 17.8 points above the national rate.

Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 3.9 to 5, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. The poverty rate is 21%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Running cool is supply constraint, at 2.8/10.

Filings are well documented here: 3,327 across 3 observed tracts. At $913 a month, rents sit 16% under what the rest of Winston-Salem commands.

Filing activity peaked in 2010 at 52.4% of renter households. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 3/10. The most recent observed rate, 29.2% in 2012, is well off that peak.

That places it #11 of 26 neighborhoods in Winston-Salem.

For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 4.5 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
