Brownswood Place maps to a single census tract in Charleston, SC, population 3,320. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.3/10, Lower tier. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
27% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, lower than the Charleston rate of 32.7%. The poverty rate is 20%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Average gross rent is $1,445, 16% below the Charleston average of $1,722.
Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 2.9/10. Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 3/10. That places it #13 of 23 neighborhoods in Charleston.
At 19% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Rent takes 14% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
