Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Wilson's Farm

The severe-burden share is 27%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. At $1,114 a month, rents run 35% under what the rest of Charleston commands.

On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10. 77% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.1/10.

The poverty rate is 25%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Cost burden runs 53% here against 45.9% across Charleston County.

It sits 1.2 points above the Charleston County average of 3.7. The filing record is not thin: 2,801 evictions over 4 years of observation.

Food insecurity runs 25.2% against 17.8% nationally. Filings peaked in 2013 at 76.2% of renter households. In a typical year about 61.1% of renter households face a filing.

Nationally it ranks #34,278 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 7.5/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
