Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Greensboro
The severe-burden share is 29%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. This is renter territory: 75% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10.
The poverty rate is 26%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Against the Guilford County average of 4.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.3 points.
Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2.3/10. The filing record is not thin: 1,488 evictions over 5 years of observation. Filings peaked in 2014 at 38.1% of renter households.
In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. In a typical year about 29.8% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 67% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
