Spring Valley maps to a single census tract in Greensboro, NC, population 3,953. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.3/10, in the Moderate tier. 57% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the Greensboro rate of 32.4%.
34% 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 clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.
The poverty rate is 28%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. SNAP participation is 31.5% of households versus 15.2% nationally. 17.1% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
Court records for this tract carry 1,007 eviction filings. Average gross rent is $990, 16% below the Greensboro average of $1,172.
Running hot is economic stress at 7/10. The worst year on record was 2005, when filings touched 28.0% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 19.3% in 2016 against a 28.0% peak.
Among the 35 mapped neighborhoods of Greensboro, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. Social vulnerability runs high at 9.7/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $44,734.
One tract means one number: 5.3/10 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.
