Raeburn Eviction Risk: Lower

2 census tracts · pop 5,809 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Raeburn spans 2 census tracts of Charlotte, NC, population 5,809. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs 48% against 29.9% citywide, putting Raeburn 18.2% over its own city.

The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.1/10. On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. At $1,952 a month, rents sit 21% over what the rest of Charlotte commands.

Severe burden reaches 15%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The filing record is not thin: 16 evictions logged in this tract.

CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 7.0% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. Food insecurity affects 7.9% of adults, 9.9 points below the national rate. The worst year on record was 2014, when filings touched 2.1% of renter households.

The most recent observed rate, 1.2% in 2016, is well off that peak. Among the 111 mapped neighborhoods of Charlotte, it ranks #93 by risk, the lower third. Against average income of $144,049, annual rent is only 16%, a wide affordability cushion.

Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

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.
