West Concord Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 6,404 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.3/10 · range 4.3–4.3

West Concord is a one-tract neighborhood of Concord, NC, population 6,404. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.3/10, Moderate tier. 53% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the Concord rate of 31.0%.

The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 1.3/10.

Severe burden reaches 20%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Average gross rent is $1,149, 21% below the Concord average of $1,451.

Running cool is tenant-organizing strength, at 2/10. Court records for this tract carry 1,427 eviction filings. Filing activity peaked in 2017 at 20.0% of renter households.

Among the 16 mapped neighborhoods of Concord, it ranks #6 by risk, the middle third. Judgments average 3.5% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. The closest comparables inside the same city are Southern Chase and Edgewood Historic District.

Social vulnerability runs high at 8.6/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $66,675.

34% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
