Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Rosemont
The score leans hardest on economic stress at 5.4/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores about the same as the Charleston County average of 5.2 and in line with the South Carolina statewide average of 5.5. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 481 eviction filings here over 4 tracked years, with about 18.6% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 23.9% of renter households in 2014.
During 2020 and 2021, eviction filings here ran at about 0.42x the pre-COVID monthly baseline, well below the pre-pandemic norm, the signature of an eviction moratorium at work.
