Coliseum Drive Eviction Risk: Moderate

3 census tracts · pop 8,942 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.4/10 · range 5.1–5.4

Coliseum Drive takes in 3 census tracts of Charlotte, NC, population 8,942. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.4/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Charlotte baseline of 29.9%, 55% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

33% 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. The poverty rate is 37%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. 80% 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 main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. Set annual rent against average household income of $44,384 and the ratio lands at 33%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.

Running hot is economic stress at 8.5/10. SNAP participation is 32.2% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Average gross rent is $1,235, 23% below the Charlotte average of $1,612.

On the softer side is supply constraint, at 1.9/10. Food insecurity affects 32.7% of adults, 14.9 points above the national rate. Court records carry 2,809 eviction filings across its 3 observed tracts.

The worst year on record was 2005, when filings touched 42.2% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 18.4% in 2016, is well off that peak.

Among the 111 mapped neighborhoods of Charlotte, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. For a like-for-like read, Shannon Park and Knollwood Acres 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.
