Weston is a one-tract neighborhood of Winston-Salem, NC and houses 2,422 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5/10, Moderate tier. The severe-burden share is 43%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Cost burden runs 53% against 30.4% citywide, putting Weston 22.7% over its own city. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
The poverty rate is 22%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. SNAP participation is 28.9% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
Court records for this tract carry 219 eviction filings. 19.9% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 3/10.
The worst year on record was 2005, when filings touched 16.7% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 11.2% in 2012 against a 16.7% peak. Among the 26 mapped neighborhoods of Winston-Salem, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third.
Social vulnerability runs high at 9.5/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Average gross rent runs $1,131, close to the Winston-Salem average.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 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.
