· range 4.2–4.3
Glenwood takes in 2 census tracts of Charlotte, NC, population 5,751. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.2/10, Moderate tier. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.
69% 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. 37% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, higher than the Charlotte rate of 29.9%.
On the softer side is economic stress, at 2.7/10. Severe burden reaches 12%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
The filing record is not thin: 1,039 evictions logged in this tract. The worst year on record was 2005, when filings touched 52.2% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 15.7% in 2016, is well off that peak.
Among the 111 mapped neighborhoods of Charlotte, it ranks #60 by risk, the middle third. The closest comparables inside the same city are Embassy East and Plaza Hills.
Its 2 tracts score within 0.1 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses. Average gross rent runs $1,601, close to the Charlotte average.
Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $80,573.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
