Charlotte Eviction Risk: Lower

At $1,313 a month, rents run 48% over what the rest of Charlotte commands. The dominant input is court filing pressure at 9/10.

25% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Running cool, economic stress reads 2.4/10. The voucher gap is 16.5%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 92 filings here across 8 tracked years. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 7.1/10. The worst year on record was 2012, when 10.7% of renter households were served.

In a typical year about 8.4% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #50,654 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Only 4% 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 2/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Rent consumes only 17% of average household income of $90,812, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

Of its three components the household composition 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.
