South End maps to a single census tract in Charlotte, NC and houses 1,809 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.6/10, in the Lower tier. This is a renter market: 89% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.
The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. Running cool is economic stress, at 1.8/10.
Severe burden reaches 14%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Rent consumes at least 30% of income for 33% of renter households. SNAP participation is 4.0% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
4.0% 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. Average gross rent is $1,802, 12% above the Charlotte average of $1,612.
That places it #78 of 111 neighborhoods in Charlotte. For a like-for-like read, Davis Lake and Highland Creek score within a fraction of it.
Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $92,500.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.6/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
