Liberty Hill maps to a single census tract in North Charleston, SC and houses 3,254 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
42% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well above the North Charleston rate of 32.3%. On the softer side is economic stress, at 1.1/10. Average gross rent is $1,761, 23% above the North Charleston average of $1,430.
SNAP participation is 3.5% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Court records for this tract carry 160 eviction filings.
Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.5/10. Food insecurity affects 7.2% of adults, 10.6 points below the national rate.
Filing activity peaked in 2013 at 11.2% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 8.1% in 2015 against a 11.2% peak.
That places it #21 of 23 neighborhoods in North Charleston. Only 16% 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.
Rent takes 20% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
