Wesley Heights maps to a single census tract in Charlotte, NC, population 2,883. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. Against a Charlotte baseline of 29.9%, 51% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1/10. Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. Average gross rent is $1,972, 22% above the Charlotte average of $1,612.
Severe burden reaches 17%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. SNAP participation is 6.1% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
Food insecurity affects 9.5% of adults, 8.3 points below the national rate. Among the 111 mapped neighborhoods of Charlotte, it ranks #93 by risk, the lower third. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $111,483. 41% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
