Wexford maps to a single census tract in Hilton Head Island, SC and houses 3,740 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. Against a Hilton Head Island baseline of 30.8%, about half of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.6/10. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.7/10. SNAP participation is 2.9% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
Court records for this tract carry 91 eviction filings. 3.1% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, below a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Filing activity peaked in 2011 at 4.8% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 2.5% in 2014, is well off that peak. Among the 11 mapped neighborhoods of Hilton Head Island, it ranks #7 by risk, the middle third. 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.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Shelter Cove and Forest Beach. Rent takes 18% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
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.
