Irving Park Eviction Risk: Lower

5 census tracts · pop 9,388 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.4/10 · range 3–4

Irving Park spans 5 census tracts of Greensboro, NC and houses 9,388 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.4/10, Lower tier. Average gross rent is $744, 37% below the Greensboro average of $1,172.

The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1.7/10.

Against a Greensboro baseline of 32.4%, 39% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. The severe-burden share is 15%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Scores across the 5 constituent tracts range from 3 to 4. A 1-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here.

Court records carry 819 eviction filings across its 5 observed tracts. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 6.9% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.

Food insecurity affects 7.4% of adults, 10.4 points below the national rate. Filing activity peaked in 2015 at 51.7% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 6.6% in 2016, is well off that peak.

That places it #28 of 35 neighborhoods in Greensboro. The closest comparables inside the same city are Devonshire at Lake Jeanette and Country Park at Tall Oaks.

Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
