Mathis Ferry Court is a one-tract neighborhood of Mount Pleasant, SC, population 1,764. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. 46% 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.
Cost burden runs 57% against 33.3% citywide, putting Mathis Ferry Court 23.8% over its own city. Average gross rent is $3,139, 45% above the Mount Pleasant average of $2,159. What pushes the score up most is supply constraint at 10/10.
The voucher gap is 72.5%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Running cool is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1/10.
SNAP participation is 2.8% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Court records for this tract carry 5 eviction filings.
3.7% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, below a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Filing activity peaked in 2012 at 3.0% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 1.0% in 2014, is well off that peak.
That places it #1 of 6 neighborhoods in Mount Pleasant. Only 4% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
