Berkeley Hills maps to a single census tract in Hanahan, SC and houses 2,755 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.3/10, Moderate tier. 51% 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.
60% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Hanahan rate of 36.8%. The clearest offset is supply constraint, at 1.4/10. Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.5/10.
On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 8.2/10. At $1,173 a month, rents sit 17% under what the rest of Hanahan commands. Court records for this tract carry 1,267 eviction filings.
SNAP participation is 6.3% of households versus 15.2% nationally. The worst year on record was 2014, when filings touched 64.1% of renter households.
Among the 5 mapped neighborhoods of Hanahan, it ranks #3 by risk, the middle third. Judgments average 5.6% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. Only 20% 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 Belvedere and Otranto. Rent takes 19% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
