Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Gateway

At $388 a month, rents run 76% under what the rest of Charlotte commands. What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 9.5/10. Running cool, supply constraint reads 1/10.

On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10. 14% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. It sits 1.0 points above the Mecklenburg County average of 4.0.

This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") 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. On the national scale it lands near the 61st percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 6.4/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Against average income of $72,155, annual rent is just 6%. Statewide the NC average is 4.0, so this tract runs 1.0 points hotter.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
