Cherry takes in 2 census tracts of Charlotte, NC and houses 2,325 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.8/10, in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs 46% against 29.9% citywide, putting Cherry 15.9% over its own city.
The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. 69% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over. The severe-burden share is 20%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 2.2/10. The filing record is not thin: 110 evictions logged in this tract.
The worst year on record was 2005, when filings touched 19.9% of renter households. SNAP participation is 7.0% of households versus 15.2% nationally. At $1,789 a month, rents sit 11% over what the rest of Charlotte commands.
Food insecurity affects 9.6% of adults, 8.2 points below the national rate. The most recent observed rate, 4.6% in 2016, is well off that peak.
That places it #74 of 111 neighborhoods in Charlotte. For a like-for-like read, Carmel and Ridgeview score within a fraction of it.
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.
