Parkwood is a one-tract neighborhood of Winston-Salem, NC and houses 7,531 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.5/10, in the Lower tier. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
19% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. Court records for this tract carry 230 eviction filings.
On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 3/10. Against a Winston-Salem baseline of 30.4%, roughly one in four of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The worst year on record was 2010, when filings touched 15.5% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 15.2% in 2012 against a 15.5% peak. At $1,175 a month, rents sit 8% over what the rest of Winston-Salem commands.
That places it #16 of 26 neighborhoods in Winston-Salem. Rent takes 19% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
31% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.5/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
