Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Beaufort Historic District

What moves this score most is tenant organizing strength at 8.3/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Beaufort eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Beaufort County average of 5.5 and above the South Carolina statewide average of 5.5. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 403 eviction filings here over 5 tracked years, with about 16.4% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 18.5% of renter households in 2013.

In CDC survey modeling, about 14.9% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 10.5% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.

For a landlord, this is a tract where process discipline pays off. Clean paperwork and steady screening keep the elevated risk manageable.
