Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: D: Hazardous (Redlined)

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade D meant Black, immigrant, and poor neighborhoods systematically denied mortgage credit. These designations suppressed minority homeownership for generations and remain a documented predictor of present-day eviction filings and rent burden.

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in West End

What pushes it up most is economic stress at 10/10. At $540 a month, rents run 50% under what the rest of Winston-Salem commands. The poverty rate is 48%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 9.5/10. Severe burden reaches 24%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10.

Set annual rent against average income of $18,521 and the ratio lands at 35%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Housing insecurity runs 31.3% against 14.2% nationally. Disability prevalence runs 47.6% against 31.5% nationally.

70% 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. It sits 1.1 points above the Forsyth County average of 3.9.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
