Matthews Commercial Historic District Eviction Risk: Lower

roughly one in three of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well below the Mecklenburg County average of 45.3%. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1.4/10.

Running cool, state political climate reads 2.3/10. 10% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

SNAP participation runs 6.2% against 15.2% nationally. It sits 0.9 points below the Mecklenburg County average of 4.0. Court records carry 173 eviction filings across 4 observed years.

Food insecurity runs 9.4% against 17.8% nationally. At $1,579 a month, rents run 10% under what the rest of Matthews commands.

The worst year on record was 2014, when 14.2% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 10.5% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 22% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 5.5/10.
