· range 3–3.7
Shopton takes in 2 census tracts of Charlotte, NC and houses 5,770 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.2/10, Lower tier. Severe burden reaches 28%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1.6/10. Cost burden runs 34% against 29.9% citywide, putting Shopton 4.5% over its own city.
At $1,812 a month, rents sit 12% over what the rest of Charlotte commands. That places it #88 of 111 neighborhoods in Charlotte. Rent takes 19% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Poverty sits at 7%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.7 points apart at the extremes. 36% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
