Alston Court Eviction Risk: Lower

Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.2/10. Against a Goose Creek baseline of 28.3%, 34% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. 14% 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.

At $1,390 a month, rents sit 18% under what the rest of Goose Creek commands. The filing record is not thin: 619 evictions logged in this tract. Running cool is supply constraint, at 2.6/10.

Filing activity peaked in 2014 at 29.1% of renter households. That places it #4 of 5 neighborhoods in Goose Creek.

Judgments average 4.5% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. The closest comparables inside the same city are Bloomfield and Piedmonte Place. Rent takes 19% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.

Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
