Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Harleston Place
What moves this score most is supply constraint at 4.5/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Charleston eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores about the same as the Charleston County average of 5.2 and below the South Carolina statewide average of 5.5. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.
During 2020 and 2021, eviction filings here ran at about 0.25x the pre-COVID monthly baseline, well below the pre-pandemic norm, the signature of an eviction moratorium at work.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 216 eviction filings here over 4 tracked years, with about 9.5% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 24.2% of renter households in 2014.
For a landlord, conditions here are middle-of-the-road. Standard screening and prompt, documented notices usually keep cases short.
