The Magnolias is a one-tract neighborhood of Greensboro, NC, population 5,216. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, in the Lower tier. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1/10.
24% 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. Running cool is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.
41% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, ahead of the Greensboro rate of 32.4%. The filing record is not thin: 1,175 evictions logged in this tract. SNAP participation is 5.2% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
Food insecurity affects 7.4% of adults, 10.4 points below the national rate. The worst year on record was 2005, when filings touched 101.2% of renter households. Average gross rent is $1,060, 10% below the Greensboro average of $1,172.
The most recent observed rate, 22.3% in 2016, is well off that peak. Among the 35 mapped neighborhoods of Greensboro, it ranks #31 by risk, the lower third. At 26% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
Rent takes 14% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 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.
