Rivergate maps to a single census tract in Little River, SC and houses 2,922 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.6/10, Lower tier. 22% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.
The clearest offset is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.2/10. 27% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, lower than the Little River rate of 33.2%. Court records for this tract carry 113 eviction filings.
CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 7.1% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. SNAP participation is 5.7% of households versus 15.2% nationally. The worst year on record was 2012, when filings touched 7.3% of renter households.
Recent filings have not receded much: 6.4% in 2014 against a 7.3% peak. Among the 4 mapped neighborhoods of Little River, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third.
Only 20% 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. For a like-for-like read, Seaglass Village and East Twisted Oaks score within a fraction of it. Average gross rent runs $1,444, close to the Little River average.
Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $74,144.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.6/10 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.
