Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Downtown
The dominant input is court filing pressure at 9.5/10. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1.3/10. On the softer side, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.9/10.
14% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. SNAP participation runs 5.7% against 15.2% nationally.
Food insecurity runs 8.6% against 17.8% nationally. It sits 0.9 points below the Mecklenburg County average of 4.0.
Court records carry 284 eviction filings across 4 observed years. The worst year on record was 2015, when 13.5% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 9.6% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 22% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
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.
