Oakland Heights Eviction Risk: Moderate
1 census tracts · pop 3,250 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.5/10 · range 4.5–4.5
Oakland Heights maps to a single census tract in Myrtle Beach, SC and houses 3,250 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.5/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Severe burden reaches 45%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
62% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the Myrtle Beach rate of 36.1%. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
Annualized rent equals 32% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with. On the softer side is tenant-organizing strength, at 2/10.
The poverty rate is 19%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Court records for this tract carry 390 eviction filings.
Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.5/10. The worst year on record was 2014, when filings touched 11.7% of renter households.
Average gross rent is $1,121, 11% below the Myrtle Beach average of $1,261. Among the 13 mapped neighborhoods of Myrtle Beach, it ranks #5 by risk, the middle third. Judgments average 5.1% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Broadway Station and Stuart Square. 52% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 4.5/10 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.
