Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Goose Creek

The dominant input is court filing pressure at 9.8/10. On the softer side, state political climate reads 2.1/10.

Running cool, economic stress reads 2.1/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 582 filings here across 5 tracked years. The worst year on record was 2014, when 35.5% of renter households were served.

Average gross rent is $1,552, 8% below the Goose Creek average. In a typical year about 29.1% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 38% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 20% 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 4.2/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
