Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Moncks Corner

The score leans hardest on rent-control risk at 7.1/10. 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 Moncks Corner eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Berkeley County average of 5.5 and above the South Carolina statewide average of 5.5. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 609 eviction filings here over 5 tracked years, with about 24.3% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 32.8% of renter households in 2014.

The tract is Black and White and ranks around the 62nd percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a middle-of-the-pack reading for social vulnerability.

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