Chapel Cove spans 3 census tracts of Charlotte, NC and houses 12,919 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.2/10.
22% 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. Running cool is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.6/10. Against a Charlotte baseline of 29.9%, 38% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
Court records for this tract carry 14 eviction filings. Average gross rent is $1,812, 12% above the Charlotte average of $1,612. The worst year on record was 2014, when filings touched 13.2% of renter households.
SNAP participation is 7.0% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Recent filings have not receded much: 9.4% in 2015 against a 13.2% peak. That places it #93 of 111 neighborhoods in Charlotte.
At 17% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. For a like-for-like read, Barclay Downs and Westmoreland score within a fraction of it. Rent takes 18% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
With little internal variation, 3/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
