Deerfield Place is a 2-tract neighborhood of Goose Creek, SC and houses 10,445 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.6/10, placing it in the Lower tier. 26% 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.
Cost burden runs 38% against 28.3% citywide, putting Deerfield Place 9.6% over its own city. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 2/10. Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.2/10.
Filings are well documented here: 1,188 across 2 observed tracts. The worst year on record was 2011, when filings touched 27.9% of renter households. SNAP participation is 6.9% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
The most recent observed rate, 11.6% in 2014, is well off that peak. That places it #3 of 5 neighborhoods in Goose Creek. Only 26% 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 Piedmonte Place and Bloomfield. Its 2 tracts score within 0.7 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses.
With little internal variation, 3.6/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
