Gateway Eviction Risk: Lower

74% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over. The severe-burden share is 22%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 3 to 5, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk.

Against a Charlotte baseline of 29.9%, 38% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. Running cool is economic stress, at 2.6/10.

SNAP participation is 6.7% of households versus 15.2% nationally. At $1,766 a month, rents sit 10% over what the rest of Charlotte commands. Among the 111 mapped neighborhoods of Charlotte, it ranks #76 by risk, the lower third.

For a like-for-like read, Forest Pawtucket and Davis Lake score within a fraction of it. Rent takes 20% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.

For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 3.7 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
