Druid Hills maps to a single census tract in Charlotte, NC, population 2,650. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5.4/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. The severe-burden share is 44%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Against a Charlotte baseline of 29.9%, about three-quarters of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. Food insecurity affects 47.4% of adults, 29.6 points above the national rate. The dominant input is economic stress at 9.5/10.
Set annual rent against average household income of $30,536 and the ratio lands at 42%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 33.5% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.
The poverty rate is 38%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Average gross rent is $1,077, 33% below the Charlotte average of $1,612. Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 1/10.
This is a renter market: 76% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. The filing record is not thin: 792 evictions logged in this tract.
Filing activity peaked in 2005 at 57.0% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 25.1% in 2016, is well off that peak. That places it #1 of 111 neighborhoods in Charlotte.
One tract means one number: 5.4/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
