Ballantyne Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 2,085 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Ballantyne maps to a single census tract in Charlotte, NC and houses 2,085 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. Cost burden runs 51% against 29.9% citywide, putting Ballantyne 21.5% over its own city.

The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.2/10. The severe-burden share is 22%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

Running cool is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. At $1,953 a month, rents sit 21% over what the rest of Charlotte commands.

CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 6.1% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. The filing record is not thin: 193 evictions logged in this tract.

The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 22.5% of renter households. 5.3% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. Among the 111 mapped neighborhoods of Charlotte, it ranks #93 by risk, the lower third.

Judgments average 3.2% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. Rent takes 19% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

36% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

One tract means one number: 3/10 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.
