Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Mount Pleasant
The severe-burden share is 33%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 9.7/10. On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10.
Well under the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 1.5/10. The voucher gap is 19.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. SNAP participation runs 5.1% against 15.2% nationally.
Court records carry 77 eviction filings across 4 observed years. Food insecurity runs 9.6% against 17.8% nationally. It sits 0.7 points below the Charleston County average of 3.7.
The worst year on record was 2014, when 6.0% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 5.0% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
