Kingston Oaks maps to a single census tract in Conway, SC, population 4,288. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.6/10, Lower tier. 50% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, clearly above the Conway rate of 30.9%.
The main counterweight is supply constraint, at 1/10. The severe-burden share is 22%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Running cool is economic stress, at 1.7/10. At $690 a month, rents sit 20% under what the rest of Conway commands. On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 7.6/10.
The filing record is not thin: 308 evictions logged in this tract. Filing activity peaked in 2011 at 20.2% of renter households.
Recent filings have not receded much: 17.3% in 2014 against a 20.2% peak. Among the 7 mapped neighborhoods of Conway, it ranks #7 by risk, the lower third.
Only 14% 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 $57,407, annual rent is only 14%, a wide affordability cushion.
Poverty sits at 7%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
One tract means one number: 3.6/10 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.
