King Street Fashion District Eviction Risk: Moderate

Against a Charleston baseline of 32.7%, roughly two in three of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. What pushes the score up most is economic stress at 9.7/10.

The poverty rate is 39%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. At $1,128 a month, rents sit 34% under what the rest of Charleston commands. Annualized rent equals 37% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with.

On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. This is a renter market: 78% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 1.2/10. Court records for this tract carry 235 eviction filings. Filing activity peaked in 2014 at 16.3% of renter households.

The most recent observed rate, 8.3% in 2015, is well off that peak. That places it #1 of 23 neighborhoods in Charleston.

One tract means one number: 4.9/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
