Midtown Eviction Risk: Moderate , Charlotte

This is renter territory: 89% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. 25% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Against Mecklenburg County at 45.3%, 34% of renters here are cost-burdened. Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10.

At $2,060 a month, rents run 28% over what the rest of Charlotte commands. On the softer side, economic stress reads 2/10.

SNAP participation runs 7.2% against 15.2% nationally. The voucher gap is 12.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Charlotte. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. Nationally it ranks #48,956 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 6.4/10.

It tracks the Mecklenburg County average of 4.0 closely.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
