Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Midtown
This is renter territory: 72% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10.
21% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. The poverty rate is 25%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Against the Mecklenburg County average of 4.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.4 points.
Running cool, state political climate reads 2.3/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 403 filings here across 4 tracked years. Filings peaked in 2014 at 8.9% of renter households.
In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. In a typical year about 9.4% of renter households face a filing.
On the national scale it lands near the 70th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 7.2/10.
Statewide the NC average is 4.0, so this tract runs 1.4 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.
All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
