Mount Pleasant Eviction Risk: Lower

Against Charleston County at 45.9%, 83% of renters here are cost-burdened. The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 9.7/10. Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10.

On the softer side, economic stress reads 1/10. The voucher gap is 25.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

SNAP participation runs 2.3% against 15.2% nationally. Housing insecurity runs 5.0% against 14.2% nationally. It sits 0.7 points below the Charleston County average of 3.7.

That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 5% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 1/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Rent consumes only 17% of average household income of $163,011, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

Statewide the SC average is 4.0, so this tract runs 1.0 points cooler. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.

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.
