Ridgewalk Cottages is a one-tract neighborhood of Five Forks, SC, population 6,274. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. What pushes the score up most is supply constraint at 10/10.
The voucher gap is 55.4%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 9.6/10. Running cool is economic stress, at 1/10.
SNAP participation is 2.8% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Cost burden runs 43% against 48.1% citywide, putting Ridgewalk Cottages 5.2% under its own city.
11% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. 4.0% 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.
At $2,029 a month, rents sit 7% under what the rest of Five Forks commands. That places it #1 of 5 neighborhoods in Five Forks.
Only 8% 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. Against average income of $160,693, annual rent is only 15%, a wide affordability cushion.
One tract means one number: 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.
