• Description/Excerpt: Fred Kelly of the Charlotte Observer used local data to show that "roughly four of every five Section 8 residents are clustered in 10 ZIP codes already burdened with crime and blight. At the same time, affluent communities, including vast stretches of south Charlotte and areas near Lake Norman, have virtually no Section 8 tenants." Section 8 tenants live mostly in east and west Charlotte, the paper found.
