Mountain Brook is a one-tract neighborhood of Wade Hampton, SC, population 2,204. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1/10.
Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.9/10. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 4.7% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. 3.1% 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.
On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 7.2/10. At 2% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. The closest comparables inside the same city are Terra Oaks and The Cove at Butler Springs.
Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
