Dalton Village Eviction Risk: Moderate

The severe-burden share is 36%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. SNAP participation is 52.2% of households versus 15.2% nationally.

The dominant input is economic stress at 9.5/10. The poverty rate is 41%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Average gross rent is $1,064, 34% below the Charlotte average of $1,612.

Annualized rent equals 38% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with. This is a renter market: 79% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 1.4/10.

On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. 21.6% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. Filings are well documented here: 2,408 across 2 observed tracts.

The worst year on record was 2005, when filings touched 66.9% of renter households.

With little internal variation, 5.4/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
