Hampton Park Terrace is a one-tract neighborhood of Charleston, SC and houses 3,006 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.9/10, in the Moderate tier. 50% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, clearly above the Charleston rate of 32.7%.
The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. The severe-burden share is 24%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The poverty rate is 30%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
On the high side is economic stress at 7.5/10. The filing record is not thin: 454 evictions logged in this tract. The worst year on record was 2014, when filings touched 39.4% of renter households.
Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 3/10. The most recent observed rate, 14.7% in 2015, is well off that peak.
Among the 23 mapped neighborhoods of Charleston, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. For a like-for-like read, King Street Design District and Wilson's Farm score within a fraction of it. Average gross rent runs $1,624, close to the Charleston average.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.9/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
