Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Colonial Heights

Against Mecklenburg County at 45.3%, 33% of renters here are cost-burdened. On the softer side, economic stress reads 1/10. Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10.

SNAP participation runs 2.4% against 15.2% nationally. Against the Mecklenburg County average of 4.0, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.0 points.

The filing record is not thin: 29 evictions over 4 years of observation. Adults with no health insurance runs 4.0% against 11.3% nationally. Filings peaked in 2005 at 11.9% of renter households.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground A ("Best"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. In a typical year about 3.9% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Only 20% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Social vulnerability reads 1.2/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
