Stuart Square is a one-tract neighborhood of Myrtle Beach, SC and houses 4,160 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.7/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Food insecurity affects 42.3% of adults, 24.5 points above the national rate.
29.9% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. 24% 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.
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. On the softer side is tenant-organizing strength, at 2/10. At $991 a month, rents sit 21% under what the rest of Myrtle Beach commands.
Running cool is supply constraint, at 2/10. 42% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, higher than the Myrtle Beach rate of 36.1%. The poverty rate is 21%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
Among the 13 mapped neighborhoods of Myrtle Beach, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. For a like-for-like read, Pelican Harbor and Withers Swash score within a fraction of it.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.7/10 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.
