Oak Grove maps to a single census tract in Greensboro, NC and houses 5,449 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.3/10, Moderate tier. roughly one in two of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well above the Greensboro rate of 32.4%.
What pushes the score up most is economic stress at 10/10. Food insecurity affects 44.0% of adults, 26.2 points above the national rate.
Average gross rent is $720, 39% below the Greensboro average of $1,172. The poverty rate is 40%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
74% 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. Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 1.3/10.
The severe-burden share is 21%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. Disability prevalence reaches 46.7% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute.
The filing record is not thin: 1,746 evictions logged in this tract. Filing activity peaked in 2016 at 33.3% of renter households. Among the 35 mapped neighborhoods of Greensboro, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third.
One tract means one number: 5.3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
