Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Beacon Hill

The heaviest input here is housing court bias at 3.5/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Winston-Salem eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores about the same as the Forsyth County average of 5.5 and in line with the North Carolina statewide average of 5.3. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 1,078 eviction filings here over 4 tracked years, with about 20.6% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 20.6% of renter households in 2012.

In CDC survey modeling, about 20.2% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 13.0% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.

For a landlord, conditions here are middle-of-the-road. Standard screening and prompt, documented notices usually keep cases short.
