Pleasant Hills Eviction Risk: Moderate , North Charleston

Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10. Against Charleston County at 45.9%, 57% of renters here are cost-burdened.

20% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. 68% 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, state political climate reads 2.1/10.

The filing record is not thin: 557 evictions over 4 years of observation. The worst year on record was 2014, when 34.4% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 25.6% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 46% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.7/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured. It tracks the Charleston County average of 3.7 closely. Average gross rent is $1,344, close to the North Charleston average.

Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $60,707.

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.
