Dalton Village Eviction Risk: Moderate , Charlotte

Average gross rent is $740, 54% below the Charlotte average. Housing insecurity runs 40.4% against 14.2% nationally.

The poverty rate is 50%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. The severe-burden share is 32%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. 95% 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.

Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 9.5/10. Annualized rent equals 38% of average household income of $23,235, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1/10. Adults with no health insurance runs 25.8% against 11.3% nationally. Against the Mecklenburg County average of 4.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.4 points.

53% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, higher than the Mecklenburg County average of 45.3%. The filing record is not thin: 736 evictions over 4 years of observation.

The worst year on record was 2005, when 66.9% of renter households were served.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
