Starmount Eviction Risk: Moderate , Charlotte

What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 9.5/10. Severe burden reaches 31%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. This is renter territory: 79% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10. Food insecurity runs 32.7% against 17.8% nationally. It sits 1.4 points above the Mecklenburg County average of 4.0.

Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 2.2/10. At $1,309 a month, rents run 19% under what the rest of Charlotte commands. The poverty rate is 20%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

The filing record is not thin: 1,462 evictions over 4 years of observation. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 15.3% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

The worst year on record was 2014, when 24.9% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 33.8% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 70% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

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.
