Terra Oaks maps to a single census tract in Wade Hampton, SC, population 5,083. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs roughly one in two against 29.1% citywide, putting Terra Oaks 23.8% over its own city.
The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1/10. Severe burden reaches 24%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.9/10.
SNAP participation is 4.1% of households versus 15.2% nationally. On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 7.2/10.
Food insecurity affects 9.2% of adults, 8.6 points below the national rate. Against average income of $78,592, annual rent is only 18%, a wide affordability cushion.
Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $1,156, close to the Wade Hampton average. 33% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
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.
