Caledonia is a one-tract neighborhood of Powdersville, SC, population 9,930. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs roughly two in three against 33.0% citywide, putting Caledonia 33.0% over its own city.
Severe burden reaches 37%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The dominant input is supply constraint at 10/10.
The voucher gap is 53.1%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 8.3/10. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.2/10.
At $1,450 a month, rents sit 18% over what the rest of Powdersville commands. The filing record is not thin: 533 evictions logged in this tract. SNAP participation is 6.1% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
The worst year on record was 2010, when filings touched 35.1% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 48.5% in 2014 against a 35.1% peak.
Only 15% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
