Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Turtle Creek

The score leans hardest on tenant organizing strength at 7.6/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Conway eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Horry County average of 5.3 and above the South Carolina statewide average of 5.5. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.

In CDC survey modeling, about 19.3% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 14.0% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 829 eviction filings here over 5 tracked years, with about 23.7% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 28.7% of renter households in 2012.

For a landlord, this is a tract where process discipline pays off. Clean paperwork and steady screening keep the elevated risk manageable.
