Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Sheldon
Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Running cool, housing-court posture reads 1.3/10.
Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.6/10. The poverty rate is 22%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. The filing record is not thin: 148 evictions over 5 years of observation.
The worst year on record was 2010, when 12.7% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 9.5% of renter households face a filing.
On the national scale it lands near the 53rd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 22% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 5.8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
It tracks the Beaufort County average of 4.0 closely.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
