Average gross rent is $975, 17% below the Greensboro average of $1,172. The filing record is not thin: 1,437 evictions logged in this tract. The worst year on record was 2015, when filings touched 55.9% of renter households.
Recent filings have not receded much: 36.6% in 2016 against a 55.9% peak. That places it #25 of 35 neighborhoods in Greensboro.

29% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 3.7/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
