Mason Oaks is a 2-tract neighborhood of Charlotte, NC, population 6,504. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. Against a Charlotte baseline of 29.9%, 45% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The severe-burden share is 30%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1/10.
Running cool is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. SNAP participation is 4.2% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
Food insecurity affects 6.4% of adults, 11.4 points below the national rate. That places it #93 of 111 neighborhoods in Charlotte.
At 27% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. For a like-for-like read, Dilworth Historic District and Mallard score within a fraction of it. Against average income of $153,671, annual rent is only 13%, a wide affordability cushion.
Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0 points apart at the extremes.
With little internal variation, 3/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
