Colonial Heights Eviction Risk: Lower

On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. Food insecurity affects 4.1% of adults, 13.7 points below the national rate. 33% of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent.

2.7% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, below a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. The filing record is not thin: 29 evictions logged in this tract.

The worst year on record was 2005, when filings touched 11.9% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 0.4% in 2016, is well off that peak.

Among the 111 mapped neighborhoods of Charlotte, it ranks #93 by risk, the lower third. At 20% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.

For a like-for-like read, Dilworth Historic District and Mallard score within a fraction of it. Rent takes 7% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.

Poverty sits at 0%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $1,519, close to the Charlotte average.

One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
