High Point Eviction Risk: Moderate

Average gross rent is $410, 63% below the High Point average. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 36.4% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

Housing insecurity runs 43.3% against 14.2% nationally. The poverty rate is 54%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 9.5/10.

80% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10. 34% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly below the Guilford County average of 44.7%.

14% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Court records carry 2,165 eviction filings across 5 observed years. Against the Guilford County average of 4.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.8 points.

The worst year on record was 2005, when 37.9% of renter households were served.
