Oak Creek maps to a single census tract in Five Forks, SC, population 4,784. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs 5% against 48.1% citywide, putting Oak Creek 43.3% under its own city.
The voucher gap is 41.2%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. The dominant input is rent-regulation exposure at 9.6/10. On the high side is supply constraint at 9.1/10.
On the softer side is economic stress, at 1/10. Food insecurity affects 5.7% of adults, 12.1 points below the national rate. Average gross rent is $1,844, 15% below the Five Forks average of $2,178.
3.3% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, below a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. That places it #1 of 5 neighborhoods in Five Forks.
Only 7% 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. For a like-for-like read, Ridgewalk Cottages and Bradley Oaks score within a fraction of it.
Rent takes 13% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
