4 census tracts · pop 18,131 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Cady Lake takes in 4 census tracts of Charlotte, NC, population 18,131. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.2/10.

Rent consumes at least 30% of income for 28% of renter households. Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.

Average gross rent is $1,965, 22% above the Charlotte average of $1,612. Court records carry 158 eviction filings across its 3 observed tracts.

CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 6.3% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. Severe burden reaches 10%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

Food insecurity affects 6.9% of adults, 10.9 points below the national rate. Filing activity peaked in 2015 at 8.9% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 3.5% in 2016, is well off that peak.

Among the 111 mapped neighborhoods of Charlotte, it ranks #93 by risk, the lower third. Against average income of $137,730, annual rent is only 17%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Its 4 tracts score within 0 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses.

The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
