South End Eviction Risk: Lower , Charlotte

89% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. Against Mecklenburg County at 45.3%, roughly one in three of renters here are cost-burdened. On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10.

Running cool, economic stress reads 1.8/10. Disability prevalence runs 19.0% against 31.5% nationally.

14% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Average gross rent is $1,802, 12% above the Charlotte average. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 4.0% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. Nationally it ranks #56,048 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 2.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.
