Amarillo Park Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 4,444 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.4/10 · range 5.4–5.4

Amarillo Park maps to a single census tract in Charlotte, NC, population 4,444. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.4/10, Moderate tier. Against a Charlotte baseline of 29.9%, roughly one in two of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

90% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over. 26% 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.

Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. Annualized rent equals 32% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with.

The poverty rate is 28%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Running cool is supply constraint, at 2.1/10. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 25.4% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.

Average gross rent is $1,303, 19% below the Charlotte average of $1,612. Food insecurity affects 31.3% of adults, 13.5 points above the national rate.

The filing record is not thin: 1,649 evictions logged in this tract. Filing activity peaked in 2015 at 43.5% of renter households.

One tract means one number: 5.4/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
