King Street Fashion District Eviction Risk: Moderate , Charleston

The heaviest input here is economic stress at 9.7/10. 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 above the Charleston County average of 5.2 and above the South Carolina statewide average of 5.5. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.

During 2020 and 2021, eviction filings here ran at about 0.26x the pre-COVID monthly baseline, well below the pre-pandemic norm, the signature of an eviction moratorium at work.

The tract is predominantly White and ranks around the 36th percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a relatively low-vulnerability reading.

For a landlord, this is a tract where process discipline pays off. Clean paperwork and steady screening keep the elevated risk manageable.
