Coulwood Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 4,099 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.1/10 · range 3.1–3.1

Coulwood maps to a single census tract in Charlotte, NC and houses 4,099 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.1/10, Lower tier. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1/10.

Running cool is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. At $1,946 a month, rents sit 21% over what the rest of Charlotte commands. 13% 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.

25% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, lower than the Charlotte rate of 29.9%. That places it #90 of 111 neighborhoods in Charlotte. Only 17% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

The closest comparables inside the same city are Currituck and Providence. Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $95,513.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.1/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
