Goose Creek Eviction Risk: Lower

100% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. On the softer side, economic stress reads 1.7/10. 15% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Running cool, state political climate reads 2.1/10. SNAP participation runs 4.5% against 15.2% nationally.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 4 filings here across 3 tracked years. Filings peaked in 2012 at 0.5% of renter households.

In a typical year about 0.4% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 31% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 3.5/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. 37% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent. It tracks the Berkeley County average of 3.8 closely.

Average gross rent is $1,711, close to the Goose Creek average.

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