About the area

HistoricResidentialCulturally RichCar-Dependent

East Winston is a historic, predominantly residential sector of Winston-Salem located just east of downtown and Winston-Salem State University. The community features rich African American heritage, local soul food establishments, and cultural centers, though economic challenges and blight persist in several pockets.

Scores are safety-driven: recent crime levels and local news, plus Census data on income and poverty, housing, education and household make-up, and access to vehicles, internet and health coverage. Walk and bike scores are shown separately and do not affect the safety score. A guide, not a guarantee. Neighborhood outlines come from official city and US Census boundary data.
