Average gross rent is $1,364, 25% above the Winston-Salem average. The voucher gap is 17.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Food insecurity runs 8.6% against 17.8% nationally.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 287 filings here across 4 tracked years. Filings peaked in 2006 at 39.9% of renter households. This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Winston-Salem.

In a typical year about 24.7% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

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