Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Candlewood

The score leans hardest on economic stress at $1/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Mecklenburg County average of 5.5 and above the North Carolina statewide average of 5.3. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.

In CDC survey modeling, about 32.9% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 22.8% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.
