Cox Mill takes in 2 census tracts of Concord, NC, population 8,186. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, in the Lower tier. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1/10. 41% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well above the Concord rate of 31.0%. On the softer side is tenant-organizing strength, at 2/10.
Average gross rent is $1,716, 18% above the Concord average of $1,451. 12% 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. SNAP participation is 5.0% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
Food insecurity affects 7.9% of adults, 9.9 points below the national rate. Among the 16 mapped neighborhoods of Concord, it ranks #12 by risk, the lower third. Only 26% 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.
For a like-for-like read, South Union Historic District and Beverly Hills score within a fraction of it. Rent takes 17% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Its 2 tracts score within 0 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses.
With little internal variation, 3/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
