On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10. Against Guilford County at 44.7%, 53% of renters here are cost-burdened.
Average gross rent is $876, 25% below the Greensboro average. Disability prevalence runs 43.9% against 31.5% nationally. It sits 1.3 points above the Guilford County average of 4.0.
