Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Wesley Heights

On the softer side, economic stress reads 1/10. Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10. The severe-burden share is 17%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

At $1,972 a month, rents run 22% over what the rest of Charlotte commands. Cost burden runs 51% here against 45.3% across Mecklenburg County.

Against the Mecklenburg County average of 4.0, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.0 points. SNAP participation runs 6.1% against 15.2% nationally.

Food insecurity runs 9.5% against 17.8% nationally. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.

On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 4.2/10.

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.
