Hampshire Hills is a 2-tract neighborhood of Charlotte, NC, population 6,819. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.3/10, in the Moderate tier. roughly one in two of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well above the Charlotte rate of 29.9%.
The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. 20% 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. Running cool is supply constraint, at 1.8/10.
Average gross rent is $1,251, 22% below the Charlotte average of $1,612. Court records carry 1,002 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 21.9% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.
The poverty rate is 17%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. SNAP participation is 24.8% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
The worst year on record was 2014, when filings touched 42.2% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 16.7% in 2016, is well off that peak. That places it #22 of 111 neighborhoods in Charlotte.
Social vulnerability runs high at 8.8/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.1 points apart at the extremes. Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $54,854.
With little internal variation, 5.3/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
