The score leans hardest on economic stress at 10/10. The poverty rate is 51%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Severe burden reaches 32%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Food insecurity runs 38.0% against 17.8% nationally. Annualized rent equals 37% of average household income of $22,430, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

This is renter territory: 74% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.5/10.

It sits 1.5 points above the Surry County average of 3.9. Adults with no health insurance runs 22.6% against 11.3% nationally.

Running cool, state political climate reads 2.3/10. Court records carry 1,044 eviction filings across 18 observed years. The worst year on record was 2003, when 13.8% of renter households were served.

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