Rossmore Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 990 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.1/10 · range 5.1–5.1

Rossmore maps to a single census tract in Charlotte, NC, population 990. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.1/10, in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 44% against 29.9% citywide, putting Rossmore 13.7% over its own city.

87% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over. 27% 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.

The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. The poverty rate is 18%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. That places it #31 of 111 neighborhoods in Charlotte.

For a like-for-like read, Hunter Acres and Wilson Heights score within a fraction of it. Average gross rent runs $1,612, close to the Charlotte average.

Annual rent works out to 32% of average household income of $61,279.

One tract means one number: 5.1/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
