Starmount is a 5-tract neighborhood of Charlotte, NC, population 21,710. The Eviction Risk Score is 4.6/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Charlotte baseline of 29.9%, 53% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
Severe burden reaches 26%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 3 to 5.4, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.

17.4% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. The most recent observed rate, 18.6% in 2016, is well off that peak. Average gross rent is $1,497, 7% below the Charlotte average of $1,612.
Among the 111 mapped neighborhoods of Charlotte, it ranks #44 by risk, the middle third. For a like-for-like read, Bahama Park and Arlington score within a fraction of it. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $84,495.
57% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 2.4 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
