Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Ladson

The score leans hardest on housing court bias at 5.7/10. 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 Ladson 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 13.6% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 8.4% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 808 eviction filings here over 5 tracked years, with about 39.1% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 43.6% of renter households in 2013.

For a landlord, conditions here are middle-of-the-road. Standard screening and prompt, documented notices usually keep cases short.
