Gator Field Eviction Risk: Moderate
2 census tracts · pop 4,921 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.4/10 · range 3.5–5.1
Gator Field is a 2-tract neighborhood of Hilton Head Island, SC and houses 4,921 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.4/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 59% against 30.8% citywide, putting Gator Field 28.1% over its own city.
Pulling the other way is supply constraint, at 1.5/10. 23% 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.
Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.7/10. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 3.5 to 5.1, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. At $1,183 a month, rents sit 20% under what the rest of Hilton Head Island commands.
The poverty rate is 19%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Court records carry 409 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts.
18.8% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. The worst year on record was 2012, when filings touched 9.6% of renter households.
Recent filings have not receded much: 6.3% in 2014 against a 9.6% peak. That places it #3 of 11 neighborhoods in Hilton Head Island.
For a like-for-like read, Treetops at Ocean Breeze and Hickory Bluff score within a fraction of it. Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $60,561.
40% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 4.4 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
