Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Charlotte
On the softer side, economic stress reads 2.5/10. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 2.5/10.
Severe burden reaches 11%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. The filing record is not thin: 374 evictions over 8 years of observation.
Filings peaked in 2016 at 12.5% of renter households. In a typical year about 9.6% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 51% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 23% 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 4.4/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
Rent consumes only 14% of average household income of $70,987, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.
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.
