Newpoint is a one-tract neighborhood of Beaufort, SC and houses 8,600 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.2/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. 52% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, clearly above the Beaufort rate of 33.9%.
At $1,839 a month, rents sit 52% over what the rest of Beaufort commands. 30% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.
The main counterweight is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.6/10. On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 8.3/10.
Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 7.8/10. Court records for this tract carry 748 eviction filings.
SNAP participation is 5.5% of households versus 15.2% nationally. The worst year on record was 2012, when filings touched 23.1% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 18.3% in 2014 against a 23.1% peak.
Only 13% 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. Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $86,231.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.2/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
