Matthews Eviction Risk: Lower

At $2,625 a month, rents run 49% over what the rest of Matthews commands. The voucher gap is 43.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 9.5/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint, supply constraint reads 9.4/10. Running cool, economic stress reads 1.1/10.

SNAP participation runs 6.9% against 15.2% nationally. Against the Mecklenburg County average of 4.0, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.8 points.

Food insecurity runs 10.8% against 17.8% nationally. Nationally it ranks #63,308 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. At 8% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 4.1/10. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

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