Corey Wood takes in 2 census tracts of Summerville, SC, population 9,575. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.1/10, in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs 46% against 29.9% citywide, putting Corey Wood 15.6% over its own city.
Severe burden reaches 28%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. On the softer side is tenant-organizing strength, at 1.5/10.
Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1.6/10. At $1,268 a month, rents sit 17% under what the rest of Summerville commands.
Court records for this tract carry 1,252 eviction filings. Filing activity peaked in 2012 at 51.2% of renter households.
Recent filings have not receded much: 38.1% in 2015 against a 51.2% peak. That places it #6 of 6 neighborhoods in Summerville. Only 26% 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.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Summerville Farms and Cotton Hill. Rent takes 17% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Its 2 tracts score within 0.2 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses.
