Forest Pawtucket Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 3,277 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.7/10 · range 3.7–3.7

Forest Pawtucket maps to a single census tract in Charlotte, NC, population 3,277. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.7/10, in the Lower tier. Against a Charlotte baseline of 29.9%, 62% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

29% 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. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1/10.

On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. Average gross rent is $1,781, 10% above the Charlotte average of $1,612. Among the 111 mapped neighborhoods of Charlotte, it ranks #76 by risk, the lower third.

Only 25% 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 Gateway and Davis Lake.

Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 30% of average household income of $70,980.

One tract means one number: 3.7/10 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.
