Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Tower Gate

The poverty rate is 45%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. 96% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 9.5/10.

Annualized rent equals 38% of average household income of $35,545, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. The severe-burden share is 24%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10.

Against the Forsyth County average of 3.9, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.1 points. Against Forsyth County at 41.1%, 46% of renters here are cost-burdened. Nationally it ranks #32,842 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 8.1/10. Statewide the NC average is 4.0, so this tract runs 1.0 points hotter. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.

Average gross rent is $1,116, close to the Winston-Salem average.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
