Starmount Eviction Risk: Moderate , Charlotte

37% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 9.5/10. Annualized rent equals 34% of average household income of $48,762, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10. 67% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.

It sits 1.4 points above the Mecklenburg County average of 4.0. On the softer side, state political climate reads 2.3/10. The poverty rate is 20%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

SNAP participation runs 24.9% against 15.2% nationally. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 1,377 filings here across 4 tracked years. Housing insecurity runs 22.5% against 14.2% nationally.

Average gross rent is $1,398, 13% below the Charlotte average.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
