Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1/10. The severe-burden share is 21%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.3/10.

Recent filings have not receded much: 9.3% in 2014 against a 10.5% peak. That places it #3 of 4 neighborhoods in Bluffton.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
