1 census tracts · pop 3,418 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.3/10 · range 5.3–5.3
Forest Ridge maps to a single census tract in Berea, SC and houses 3,418 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5.3/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. 58% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the Berea rate of 33.9%.
The severe-burden share is 30%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. 26.0% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 8/10.
Running hot is housing-court posture at 8/10. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.1/10.
15.4% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Among the 4 mapped neighborhoods of Berea, it ranks #3 by risk, the lower third.
For a like-for-like read, August Brook and Hampton Townes score within a fraction of it. Social vulnerability runs high at 10/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Average gross rent runs $1,056, close to the Berea average. Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $48,333.
53% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 5.3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
