Woodlake is a one-tract neighborhood of Greensboro, NC and houses 9,201 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.5/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. 32% 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. Against a Greensboro baseline of 32.4%, 42% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. 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: 1,116 evictions logged in this tract. Filing activity peaked in 2016 at 24.5% of renter households. That places it #18 of 35 neighborhoods in Greensboro.
Judgments average 7.6% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. The closest comparables inside the same city are Bluford Heights and Manchester.
Social vulnerability runs high at 9.3/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Rent takes 19% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Average gross rent runs $1,136, close to the Greensboro average. 39% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 4.5/10 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.
