Weatherstone Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 6,285 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.6/10 · range 4.6–4.6

Weatherstone maps to a single census tract in Summerville, SC and houses 6,285 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 4.6/10, in the Moderate tier. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.

Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 1/10. At $1,060 a month, rents sit 31% under what the rest of Summerville commands.

The severe-burden share is 23%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Running cool is tenant-organizing strength, at 1.5/10. The poverty rate is 26%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.

The filing record is not thin: 1,256 evictions logged in this tract. Against a Summerville baseline of 29.9%, 35% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

The worst year on record was 2012, when filings touched 21.9% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 17.3% in 2015 against a 21.9% peak.

Among the 6 mapped neighborhoods of Summerville, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. For a like-for-like read, White Gables and Dorchester Crossing score within a fraction of it. Social vulnerability runs high at 9.3/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.

Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $59,132.

One tract means one number: 4.6/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
