Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Pleasant Hills
What moves this score most is supply constraint at 3.2/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores below the Charleston County average of 5.2 and below the South Carolina statewide average of 5.5. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.
In CDC survey modeling, about 12.4% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 8.5% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.
