Plum Creek takes in 3 census tracts of Huntersville, NC and houses 9,944 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.4/10, in the Lower tier. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.3/10.
Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.2/10. The 3 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 3 to 4.1, a 1.1-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. Cost burden runs 32% against 27.7% citywide, putting Plum Creek 4.5% over its own city.
At $1,625 a month, rents sit 11% under what the rest of Huntersville commands. That places it #2 of 7 neighborhoods in Huntersville.
Rent takes 18% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. 37% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 3.4 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
