Spring Lake maps to a single census tract in Charlotte, NC, population 4,566. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.3/10, Moderate tier. 46% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, clearly above the Charlotte rate of 29.9%.
Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. The severe-burden share is 17%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 2.2/10. Court records for this tract carry 259 eviction filings.
The worst year on record was 2015, when filings touched 19.9% of renter households. Average gross rent is $1,780, 10% above the Charlotte average of $1,612.
Recent filings have not receded much: 16.7% in 2016 against a 19.9% peak. That places it #55 of 111 neighborhoods in Charlotte. Only 27% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
Annual rent works out to 30% of average household income of $72,181.
One tract means one number: 4.3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
