Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Plaza Hills
The severe-burden share is 30%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. 57% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly above the Mecklenburg County average of 45.3%.
Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.4/10. At $1,163 a month, rents run 28% under what the rest of Charlotte commands.
On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10. It sits 1.2 points above the Mecklenburg County average of 4.0.
Court records carry 1,000 eviction filings across 4 observed years. Filings peaked in 2005 at 48.0% of renter households. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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 25.2% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #29,336 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.2/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
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.
