What drives eviction risk in Pelican Harbor
The severe-burden share is 35%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. The dominant input is court filing pressure at 9.5/10. SNAP participation runs 37.3% against 15.2% nationally.
Annualized rent equals 44% of average household income of $23,553, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. Sitting well above the midpoint, economic stress reads 9.3/10.
The poverty rate is 37%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10. This is renter territory: 75% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.
At $871 a month, rents run 31% under what the rest of Myrtle Beach commands. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 23.9% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Against the Horry County average of 3.8, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.9 points.
Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
