Westmoreland is a one-tract neighborhood of Charlotte, NC, population 3,238. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. The clearest offset is supply constraint, at 1/10.
Average gross rent is $1,047, 35% below the Charlotte average of $1,612. Running cool is economic stress, at 1.2/10.
Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. Cost burden runs 22% against 29.9% citywide, putting Westmoreland 7.7% under its own city. 18% 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.
Among the 111 mapped neighborhoods of Charlotte, it ranks #93 by risk, the lower third. Only 11% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
For a like-for-like read, Barclay Downs and Dilworth Historic District score within a fraction of it. Against average income of $109,722, annual rent is only 11%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
