Dutchman's Ridge Eviction Risk: Lower , Mount Holly

Against Gaston County at 40.3%, about a quarter of renters here are cost-burdened. 26% 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 1/10.

Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2.3/10. Against the Gaston County average of 4.0, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.0 points. SNAP participation runs 6.7% against 15.2% nationally.

Food insecurity runs 9.7% against 17.8% nationally. That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

At 8% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 1/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the NC average is 4.0, so this tract runs 1.0 points cooler. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.

Poverty sits at 1%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
