Arlington Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 3,409 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.6/10 · range 4.6–4.6

Arlington is a one-tract neighborhood of Charlotte, NC and houses 3,409 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.6/10, Moderate tier. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.

Against a Charlotte baseline of 29.9%, 37% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. Running cool is supply constraint, at 2/10. At $1,283 a month, rents sit 20% under what the rest of Charlotte commands.

Severe burden reaches 12%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The filing record is not thin: 205 evictions logged in this tract. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 2.8/10.

Filing activity peaked in 2015 at 27.8% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 15.7% in 2016, is well off that peak. Among the 111 mapped neighborhoods of Charlotte, it ranks #44 by risk, the middle third.

Only 25% 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, Bahama Park and Stonehaven score within a fraction of it. Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $68,185.

One tract means one number: 4.6/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
