Oakdale is a one-tract suburb of Charlotte, NC and houses 3,887 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.1/10, Moderate tier. roughly two in three of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the Charlotte rate of 29.9%.
Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. Running cool is supply constraint, at 2/10.
At $1,277 a month, rents sit 21% under what the rest of Charlotte commands. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 2.3/10. 11% 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.
Among the 111 mapped neighborhoods of Charlotte, it ranks #62 by risk, the middle third. For a like-for-like read, Colvard Park and Wilmore score within a fraction of it. Rent takes 19% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
33% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 4.1/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
