Carolina Forest Eviction Risk: Lower

On the softer side, economic stress reads 1.7/10. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2.1/10. The voucher gap is 20.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

Severe burden reaches 14%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. SNAP participation runs 7.3% against 15.2% nationally.

It sits 0.8 points below the Horry County average of 3.8. On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 7.1/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the SC average is 4.0, so this tract runs 1.0 points cooler. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured. Rent takes 30% or more of income for 44% of renters.

Average gross rent is $1,691, close to the Carolina Forest average. Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $81,688.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
