· range 5.3–5.3
Hope Valley maps to a single census tract in Greensboro, NC, population 2,647. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.3/10, in the Moderate tier. Severe burden reaches 40%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Cost burden runs 65% against 32.4% citywide, putting Hope Valley 32.7% over its own city. Set annual rent against average household income of $24,239 and the ratio lands at 50%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.
Food insecurity affects 40.6% of adults, 22.8 points above the national rate. The poverty rate is 35%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 31.2% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. The dominant input is economic stress at 8.7/10. 70% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over.
Running cool is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. The filing record is not thin: 1,041 evictions logged in this tract. At $1,015 a month, rents sit 13% under what the rest of Greensboro commands.
The worst year on record was 2013, when filings touched 38.5% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 28.9% in 2016 against a 38.5% peak.
Among the 35 mapped neighborhoods of Greensboro, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
