Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Port Royal

The score leans hardest on tenant-organizing strength at 9.6/10. Annualized rent equals 46% of average household income of $63,516, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

This is renter territory: 95% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. The voucher gap is 34.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

Severe burden reaches 27%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. On the softer side, economic stress reads 1.1/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.6/10.

SNAP participation runs 5.4% against 15.2% nationally. Against Beaufort County at 45.1%, 50% of renters here are cost-burdened.

Nationally it ranks #42,813 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 2.9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
