Afton Village is a one-tract neighborhood of Concord, NC, population 5,303. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.2/10, in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs 53% against 31.0% citywide, putting Afton Village 21.7% over its own city.
The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. 24% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. Running cool is tenant-organizing strength, at 2/10.
Average gross rent is $1,781, 23% above the Concord average of $1,451. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 2.4/10.
Court records for this tract carry 187 eviction filings. The worst year on record was 2004, when filings touched 31.8% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 5.8% in 2017, is well off that peak.
That places it #9 of 16 neighborhoods in Concord. Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $95,833.
42% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.2/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
