Judgments average 3.9% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. The closest comparables inside the same city are City Park and Nations Ford. Poverty sits at 7%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Its 2 tracts score within 0.1 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses. Average gross rent runs $1,668, close to the Charlotte average. Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $75,038.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
