Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Plaza Hills
What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 9.5/10. On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10. The severe-burden share is 17%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.
Running cool, state political climate reads 2.3/10. At $1,363 a month, rents run 15% under what the rest of Charlotte commands. The filing record is not thin: 1,372 evictions over 4 years of observation.
The worst year on record was 2005, when 39.0% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground A ("Best"). 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.
In a typical year about 33.6% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 53% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 7.1/10.
Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. It tracks the Mecklenburg County average of 4.0 closely.
Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $81,580.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
