Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Gateway

The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 9.5/10. At $2,256 a month, rents run 40% over what the rest of Charlotte commands.

Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1/10. This is renter territory: 71% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10. The voucher gap is 23.7%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

Severe burden reaches 16%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Disability prevalence runs 18.8% against 31.5% nationally.

Food insecurity runs 7.0% against 17.8% nationally. Against the Mecklenburg County average of 4.0, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.0 points. This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Charlotte. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.

That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 1.8/10.

Statewide the NC average is 4.0, so this tract runs 1.0 points cooler.
