Cornelius Eviction Risk: Lower

Against Mecklenburg County at 45.3%, about three-quarters of renters here are cost-burdened. The dominant input is court filing pressure at 9.5/10.

Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1/10. On the softer side, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.9/10.

SNAP participation runs 2.8% against 15.2% nationally. Average gross rent is $2,106, 22% above the Cornelius average.

Against the Mecklenburg County average of 4.0, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.0 points. The voucher gap is 15.5%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.1% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 8% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

Social vulnerability reads 1/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Rent consumes only 13% of average household income of $200,455, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

Statewide the NC average is 4.0, so this tract runs 1.0 points cooler. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
