Foxcroft Eviction Risk: Lower

4 census tracts · pop 14,456 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Foxcroft takes in 4 census tracts of Charlotte, NC and houses 14,456 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.2/10.

Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. 32% of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent.

At $1,897 a month, rents sit 18% over what the rest of Charlotte commands. Food insecurity affects 5.9% of adults, 11.9 points below the national rate. Filings are well documented here: 232 across 2 observed tracts.

10% 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. Filing activity peaked in 2015 at 8.3% of renter households. 5.3% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.

The most recent observed rate, 3.1% in 2016, is well off that peak. That places it #93 of 111 neighborhoods in Charlotte. The closest comparables inside the same city are Dilworth Historic District and Mallard.

Rent takes 15% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

With little internal variation, 3/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
