Knollwood Acres is a one-tract neighborhood of Charlotte, NC, population 3,779. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.4/10, Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 62% against 29.9% citywide, putting Knollwood Acres 32.5% over its own city.
Set annual rent against average household income of $42,009 and the ratio lands at 42%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. 81% 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.
27% 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. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. Average gross rent is $1,469, 9% below the Charlotte average of $1,612.
Among the 111 mapped neighborhoods of Charlotte, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third.
