Pine Island is a 3-tract neighborhood of Charlotte, NC and houses 11,235 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 4.5/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Charlotte baseline of 29.9%, 41% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. 22% 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.
Scores across the 3 constituent tracts range from 3.9 to 5.4. A 1.5-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. Filings are well documented here: 377 across 2 observed tracts. The worst year on record was 2015, when filings touched 20.3% of renter households.
Recent filings have not receded much: 13.4% in 2016 against a 20.3% peak. That places it #49 of 111 neighborhoods in Charlotte.
At 25% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. For a like-for-like read, Derita Woods and Carolina Village score within a fraction of it. Average gross rent runs $1,651, close to the Charlotte average.
Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $88,609.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.5 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
