Bloomfield maps to a single census tract in Goose Creek, SC and houses 3,126 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, in the Lower tier. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.3/10.
Rent consumes at least 30% of income for 28% of renter households. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.2/10.
15% 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. The filing record is not thin: 233 evictions logged in this tract.
SNAP participation is 4.0% of households versus 15.2% nationally. The worst year on record was 2012, when filings touched 26.4% of renter households. Food insecurity affects 9.3% of adults, 8.5 points below the national rate.
Recent filings have not receded much: 17.8% in 2014 against a 26.4% peak. Among the 5 mapped neighborhoods of Goose Creek, it ranks #4 by risk, the lower third. At 7% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Alston Court 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 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $1,667, close to the Goose Creek average.
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.
