Halsey Park spans 3 census tracts of Charleston, SC and houses 6,219 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. Severe burden reaches 34%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Against a Charleston baseline of 32.7%, 46% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
The 3 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 3 to 4, a 1-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. SNAP participation is 3.1% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Court records carry 93 eviction filings across its 3 observed tracts.
Average gross rent is $1,989, 16% above the Charleston average of $1,722. Food insecurity affects 6.5% of adults, 11.3 points below the national rate.
Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 3/10. The worst year on record was 2014, when filings touched 2.7% of renter households.
Running cool is housing-court posture, at 3/10. The most recent observed rate, 1.3% in 2015, is well off that peak.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
