Muirfield spans 3 census tracts of Winston-Salem, NC, population 9,352. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.1/10, placing it in the Lower tier. At $1,493 a month, rents sit 37% over what the rest of Winston-Salem commands.
Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. The voucher gap is 28.4%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. On the softer side is economic stress, at 1.9/10.
Severe burden reaches 17%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Against a Winston-Salem baseline of 30.4%, 36% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
Sitting well above the midpoint is supply constraint at 7.6/10. Food insecurity affects 5.9% of adults, 11.9 points below the national rate. Court records carry 704 eviction filings across its 3 observed tracts.
The worst year on record was 2006, when filings touched 30.2% of renter households. 5.2% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. The most recent observed rate, 7.4% in 2012, is well off that peak.
That places it #20 of 26 neighborhoods in Winston-Salem.
With little internal variation, 3.1/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
