Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Goose Creek
The score leans hardest on tenant organizing strength at 6.8/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Goose Creek eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores about the same as the Berkeley County average of 5.5 and in line with the South Carolina statewide average of 5.5. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.
In CDC survey modeling, about 17.3% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 10.6% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 1,236 eviction filings here over 5 tracked years, with about 55.1% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 76.1% of renter households in 2014.
