Winston-Salem Eviction Risk: Moderate

This is renter territory: 92% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10.

The poverty rate is 28%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. 17% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. roughly one in two of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, higher than the Forsyth County average of 41.1%.

On the softer side, state political climate reads 2.3/10. It sits 1.1 points above the Forsyth County average of 3.9. Average gross rent is $895, 18% below the Winston-Salem average.

Food insecurity runs 25.5% against 17.8% nationally. SNAP participation runs 22.8% against 15.2% nationally. Nationally it ranks #32,842 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

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.
