Riverwalk takes in 2 census tracts of Concord, NC and houses 11,178 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. Against a Concord baseline of 31.0%, 70% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. On the softer side is economic stress, at 1/10. At $1,877 a month, rents sit 29% over what the rest of Concord commands.
22% 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. Well under the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength, at 2/10. Court records carry 772 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts.
Filing activity peaked in 2016 at 19.0% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 7.2% in 2017, is well off that peak.
That places it #12 of 16 neighborhoods in Concord. The closest comparables inside the same city are South Union Historic District and Beverly Hills.
Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
With little internal variation, 3/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
