Fairington West is a one-tract neighborhood of Concord, NC, population 4,677. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.1/10, in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs 69% against 31.0% citywide, putting Fairington West 38.4% over its own city.
The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. The severe-burden share is 22%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Running cool is tenant-organizing strength, at 2/10.
Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 2.2/10. The filing record is not thin: 342 evictions logged in this tract. The worst year on record was 2005, when filings touched 12.1% of renter households.
SNAP participation is 7.1% of households versus 15.2% nationally. The most recent observed rate, 4.2% in 2017, is well off that peak. Average gross rent is $1,354, 7% below the Concord average of $1,451.
Among the 16 mapped neighborhoods of Concord, it ranks #10 by risk, the middle third. Only 13% 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.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.1/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
