Barclay Downs Eviction Risk: Lower

2 census tracts · pop 4,919 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Barclay Downs takes in 2 census tracts of Charlotte, NC, population 4,919. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1/10.

Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. Cost burden runs 38% against 29.9% citywide, putting Barclay Downs 7.6% over its own city.

The severe-burden share is 14%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Food insecurity affects 5.1% of adults, 12.7 points below the national rate.

Average gross rent is $1,791, 11% above the Charlotte average of $1,612. 4.8% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. That places it #93 of 111 neighborhoods in Charlotte.

The closest comparables inside the same city are Dilworth Historic District and Mallard. Rent takes 17% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.

Poverty sits at 1%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0 points apart at the extremes. 61% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

With little internal variation, 3/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
