Mallard is a one-tract suburb of Charlotte, NC and houses 5,100 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. Severe burden reaches 50%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
79% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Charlotte rate of 29.9%. Average gross rent is $2,296, 42% above the Charlotte average of $1,612. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1.2/10.
The voucher gap is 25.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Running cool is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.
Sitting well above the midpoint is supply constraint at 7.6/10. Court records for this tract carry 134 eviction filings.
The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 20.3% of renter households. That places it #93 of 111 neighborhoods in Charlotte. Judgments average 2.3% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
Only 18% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $115,524.
One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
