Lincoln Heights maps to a single census tract in Greensboro, NC, population 2,311. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.8/10, Moderate tier. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.
SNAP participation is 28.9% of households versus 15.2% nationally. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 24.1% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.
13% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. The poverty rate is 19%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
The filing record is not thin: 463 evictions logged in this tract. Rent consumes at least 30% of income for 35% of renter households.
Filing activity peaked in 2013 at 22.7% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 18.0% in 2016 against a 22.7% peak.
That places it #17 of 35 neighborhoods in Greensboro. Social vulnerability runs high at 7.8/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Average gross rent runs $1,163, close to the Greensboro average.
One tract means one number: 4.8/10 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.
