Point Hope maps to a single census tract in Charleston, SC and houses 7,007 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs 62% against 32.7% citywide, putting Point Hope 29.3% over its own city.
30% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. On the softer side is economic stress, at 1/10.
SNAP participation is 3.6% of households versus 15.2% nationally. The filing record is not thin: 105 evictions logged in this tract.
Food insecurity affects 8.5% of adults, 9.3 points below the national rate. The worst year on record was 2010, when filings touched 8.1% of renter households.
Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 3/10. The most recent observed rate, 3.3% in 2014, is well off that peak.
That places it #17 of 23 neighborhoods in Charleston. The closest comparables inside the same city are Cypress and Longborough.
Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $1,800, close to the Charleston average.
One tract means one number: 3/10 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.
