· range 4.9–5.1
Cresswind spans 2 census tracts of Charlotte, NC and houses 14,222 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. about half of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the Charlotte rate of 29.9%.
30% 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 clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.
Court records for this tract carry 244 eviction filings. The poverty rate is 16%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
The worst year on record was 2014, when filings touched 26.9% of renter households. Average gross rent is $1,794, 11% above the Charlotte average of $1,612.
The most recent observed rate, 14.5% in 2016, is well off that peak. Among the 111 mapped neighborhoods of Charlotte, it ranks #36 by risk, the upper third. At 18% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
For a like-for-like read, Madison Park and College Downs score within a fraction of it. Its 2 tracts score within 0.2 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses.
With little internal variation, 5/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
