Sweetbriar spans 3 census tracts of Charlotte, NC, population 10,712. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.3/10, in the Lower tier. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.
Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1.5/10. roughly one in three of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, above the Charlotte rate of 29.9%.
11% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. Court records for this tract carry 185 eviction filings.
At $1,858 a month, rents sit 15% over what the rest of Charlotte commands. The worst year on record was 2015, when filings touched 22.7% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 37.7% in 2016 against a 22.7% peak.
Among the 111 mapped neighborhoods of Charlotte, it ranks #86 by risk, the lower third. For a like-for-like read, Riviera and Mallard Grove score within a fraction of it.
Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Its 3 tracts score within 0.6 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses.
Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $98,107. 28% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
With little internal variation, 3.3/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
