Daniel Island Park Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 2,339 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Daniel Island Park is a one-tract neighborhood of Charleston, SC and houses 2,339 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. 45% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.

Cost burden runs 54% against 32.7% citywide, putting Daniel Island Park 21.3% over its own city. At $2,554 a month, rents sit 48% over what the rest of Charleston commands. The voucher gap is 40.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.

The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. On the high side is supply constraint at 9/10. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1.2/10.

CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 4.2% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. 4.9% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.

That places it #17 of 23 neighborhoods in Charleston. For a like-for-like read, Cypress and Longborough score within a fraction of it. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $149,174.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 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.
