Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Greensboro

36% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 9.5/10. Annualized rent equals 35% of average household income of $39,802, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

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 nearby. On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10. Against the Guilford County average of 4.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.3 points.

The poverty rate is 23%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Running cool, state political climate reads 2.3/10.

The filing record is not thin: 1,267 evictions over 5 years of observation. Filings peaked in 2005 at 19.0% of renter households. In a typical year about 16.9% of renter households face a filing.
