Providence spans 4 census tracts of Charlotte, NC and houses 15,082 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs 45% against 29.9% citywide, putting Providence 15.2% over its own city.
Average gross rent is $1,055, 35% below the Charlotte average of $1,612. Severe burden reaches 27%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.2/10.
On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. Court records carry 480 eviction filings across its 4 observed tracts.
Food insecurity affects 6.2% of adults, 11.6 points below the national rate. 3.9% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, below a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Filing activity peaked in 2015 at 21.1% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 5.2% in 2016, is well off that peak. That places it #93 of 111 neighborhoods in Charlotte. At 26% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Dilworth Historic District and Mallard. Rent takes 9% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
With little internal variation, 3/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
