Moravian Forest is a one-tract neighborhood of Winston-Salem, NC and houses 3,983 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.8/10, Moderate tier. The severe-burden share is 55%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
72% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the Winston-Salem rate of 30.4%. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. The poverty rate is 20%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
Court records for this tract carry 143 eviction filings. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 3/10.
Filing activity peaked in 2012 at 16.4% of renter households. That places it #9 of 26 neighborhoods in Winston-Salem. Judgments average 4.0% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
Only 11% 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, Forest Oaks and Reynolds Manor score within a fraction of it.
Social vulnerability runs high at 8.1/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Average gross rent runs $1,036, close to the Winston-Salem average.
One tract means one number: 4.8/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
