Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Bellacroft
The heaviest input here is rent-control risk at 6.2/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores below the Horry County average of 5.3 and below the South Carolina statewide average of 5.5. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 224 eviction filings here over 5 tracked years, with about 8.8% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 10.2% of renter households in 2012.
In CDC survey modeling, about 9.5% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 6.0% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.
