Sardis Woods is a one-tract suburb of Charlotte, NC, population 3,189. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.4/10, Moderate tier. 55% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Charlotte rate of 29.9%.
The severe-burden share is 35%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. 100% 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.
Set annual rent against average household income of $44,878 and the ratio lands at 37%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.
Food insecurity affects 35.4% of adults, 17.6 points above the national rate. 19.4% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
Running cool is supply constraint, at 2.6/10. Average gross rent is $1,386, 14% below the Charlotte average of $1,612.
That places it #1 of 111 neighborhoods in Charlotte. For a like-for-like read, Shannon Park and Knollwood Acres score within a fraction of it. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.1/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
One tract means one number: 5.4/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
