Bahama Park Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 3,190 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.6/10 · range 4.6–4.6

Bahama Park is a one-tract neighborhood of Charlotte, NC and houses 3,190 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.6/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. 58% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Charlotte rate of 29.9%.

27% 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. The main counterweight is supply constraint, at 1.4/10. Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.

Average gross rent is $1,176, 27% below the Charlotte average of $1,612. Running cool is economic stress, at 1.7/10. The filing record is not thin: 532 evictions logged in this tract.

The worst year on record was 2005, when filings touched 22.5% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 20.6% in 2016 against a 22.5% peak.

Among the 111 mapped neighborhoods of Charlotte, it ranks #44 by risk, the middle third. For a like-for-like read, Arlington and Stonehaven score within a fraction of it. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.8/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.

Poverty sits at 7%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 28% of average household income of $51,250.

One tract means one number: 4.6/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
