Midtown is a 4-tract neighborhood of Charlotte, NC and houses 7,517 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.4/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. 74% 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.
Scores across the 4 constituent tracts range from 3 to 5.4. A 2.4-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.
Cost burden runs 39% against 29.9% citywide, putting Midtown 8.6% over its own city. Severe burden reaches 17%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Filings are well documented here: 515 across 2 observed tracts. The poverty rate is 16%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
The worst year on record was 2014, when filings touched 8.9% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 4.5% in 2016, is well off that peak. Among the 111 mapped neighborhoods of Charlotte, it ranks #53 by risk, the middle third.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Brookhill and Pine Island. Average gross rent runs $1,646, close to the Charlotte average.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 4.4 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
