At $1,107 a month, rents run 31% under what the rest of Charlotte commands. Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.7/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the NC average is 4.0, so this tract runs 1.1 points hotter.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured. Annual rent works out to 32% of average household income of $41,954.
