Charlotte Eviction Risk: Moderate

The poverty rate is 49%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Average gross rent is $916, 43% below the Charlotte average.

This is renter territory: 99% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 9.5/10. 27% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Set annual rent against average income of $28,603 and the ratio lands at 38%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1/10.

It sits 1.4 points above the Mecklenburg County average of 4.0. Food insecurity runs 29.3% against 17.8% nationally. Against Mecklenburg County at 45.3%, 39% of renters here are cost-burdened.

SNAP participation runs 24.1% against 15.2% nationally. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 1,100 filings here across 4 tracked years. Filings peaked in 2014 at 34.7% of renter households.

In a typical year about 30.2% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 70% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
