Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Ashley Shores
The heaviest input here is economic stress at 9.4/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from North Charleston eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Charleston County average of 5.2 and above 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 29.6% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 23.3% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.
During 2020 and 2021, eviction filings here ran at about 0.32x the pre-COVID monthly baseline, well below the pre-pandemic norm, the signature of an eviction moratorium at work.
For a landlord, this is a tract where process discipline pays off. Clean paperwork and steady screening keep the elevated risk manageable.
