Broadway Station is a one-tract neighborhood of Myrtle Beach, SC, population 4,309. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.6/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 64% against 36.1% citywide, putting Broadway Station 27.7% over its own city.
35% 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. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Annualized rent equals 33% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with.
Running cool is tenant-organizing strength, at 2/10. The poverty rate is 20%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
The filing record is not thin: 700 evictions logged in this tract. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.5/10.
Filing activity peaked in 2011 at 14.1% of renter households. At $1,148 a month, rents sit 9% under what the rest of Myrtle Beach commands.
Recent filings have not receded much: 12.6% in 2014 against a 14.1% peak. That places it #4 of 13 neighborhoods in Myrtle Beach.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.6/10 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.
