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.

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 209 eviction filings here over 5 tracked years, with about 23.8% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 26.7% of renter households in 2011.

The tract is Black and White and ranks around the 44th 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, this is a tract where process discipline pays off. Clean paperwork and steady screening keep the elevated risk manageable.
