Kirkeys Court Eviction Risk: Lower

Average gross rent is $1,767, 40% above the Myrtle Beach average of $1,261. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.

Running cool is economic stress, at 1.3/10. 23% 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 voucher gap is 25.7%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Well under the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength, at 2/10.

SNAP participation is 3.8% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Court records for this tract carry 8 eviction filings. Food insecurity affects 8.2% of adults, 9.6 points below the national rate.

The worst year on record was 2012, when filings touched 11.4% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 5.7% in 2014, is well off that peak. That places it #8 of 13 neighborhoods in Myrtle Beach.

At 24% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. For a like-for-like read, The Lively and Crystal Lake score within a fraction of it.

One tract means one number: 3/10 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.
