Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Cypress

Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1.1/10.

14% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. SNAP participation runs 4.0% against 15.2% nationally.

Food insecurity runs 8.2% against 17.8% nationally. It sits 0.7 points below the Charleston County average of 3.7.

That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 2.7/10. Statewide the SC average is 4.0, so this tract runs 1.0 points cooler.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

47% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent. Average gross rent is $1,693, close to the Charleston average.

Annual rent works out to 19% of average household income of $106,310.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
