Colonial Village is a 5-tract neighborhood of Charlotte, NC and houses 14,501 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.3/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. 45% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, clearly above the Charlotte rate of 29.9%.
Severe burden reaches 26%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The 5 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 3 to 5.4, a 2.4-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.
On the softer side is economic stress, at 2.4/10. Filings are well documented here: 3,070 across 4 observed tracts.
Filing activity peaked in 2016 at 52.2% of renter households. Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 3/10.
Average gross rent is $1,451, 10% below the Charlotte average of $1,612. Among the 111 mapped neighborhoods of Charlotte, it ranks #55 by risk, the middle third. Judgments average 9.1% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Spring Lake and Homestead. Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $75,075.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 2.4 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
