Hicks Crossroads takes in 3 census tracts of Huntersville, NC, population 11,732. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs 44% against 27.7% citywide, putting Hicks Crossroads 16.7% over its own city.
The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1/10. The severe-burden share is 24%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.1/10. The filing record is not thin: 37 evictions logged in this tract.
CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 6.6% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. Food insecurity affects 6.9% of adults, 10.9 points below the national rate. The worst year on record was 2015, when filings touched 3.1% of renter households.
The voucher gap is 10.4%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. At $2,014 a month, rents sit 10% over what the rest of Huntersville commands.
Recent filings have not receded much: 3.1% in 2016 against a 3.1% peak. Among the 7 mapped neighborhoods of Huntersville, it ranks #4 by risk, the middle third.
Only 21% 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.
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.
