Altamahaw maps to a single census tract in Altamahaw, NC, population 4,374. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, in the Lower tier. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
27% of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1.5/10.
Running cool is housing-court posture, at 1.9/10. The filing record is not thin: 171 evictions logged in this tract. Severe burden reaches 9%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Filing activity peaked in 2017 at 7.1% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 4.1% in 2018, is well off that peak.
Only 7% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Against average income of $83,953, annual rent is only 13%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Average gross rent runs $900, close to the Altamahaw average.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
