Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Gateway

97% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10.

Cost burden runs 37% here against 45.3% across Mecklenburg County. The severe-burden share is 14%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. On the softer side, state political climate reads 2.3/10.

SNAP participation runs 8.2% against 15.2% nationally. This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Charlotte. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.

On the national scale it lands near the 44th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 1.6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. It tracks the Mecklenburg County average of 4.0 closely. Average gross rent is $1,682, close to the Charlotte average.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
