Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Winston-Salem

Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10. Average gross rent is $765, 30% below the Winston-Salem average. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.6/10.

The poverty rate is 20%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 27 filings here across 4 tracked years.

The worst year on record was 2006, when 4.5% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 3.7% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 44th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Only 12% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 5.4/10.

Rent consumes only 12% of average household income of $76,125, an unusually wide affordability cushion. It tracks the Forsyth County average of 3.9 closely.

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