Montclaire is a 2-tract neighborhood of Charlotte, NC and houses 8,425 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.2/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. 46% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well above the Charlotte rate of 29.9%.
27% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 1.8/10.
At $1,250 a month, rents sit 22% under what the rest of Charlotte commands. Filings are well documented here: 1,211 across 2 observed tracts. Filing activity peaked in 2014 at 34.4% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 12.9% in 2016, is well off that peak. Among the 111 mapped neighborhoods of Charlotte, it ranks #60 by risk, the middle third.
For a like-for-like read, Embassy East and Plaza Hills score within a fraction of it. Rent takes 16% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Its 2 tracts score within 0.7 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses.
