The Lively maps to a single census tract in Myrtle Beach, SC and houses 7,766 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. 57% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Myrtle Beach rate of 36.1%.
Severe burden reaches 29%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
Average gross rent is $1,652, 31% above the Myrtle Beach average of $1,261. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1.3/10.
On the softer side is tenant-organizing strength, at 2/10. The voucher gap is 17.5%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. The filing record is not thin: 192 evictions logged in this tract.
SNAP participation is 4.9% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Filing activity peaked in 2011 at 6.9% of renter households.
Food insecurity affects 9.5% of adults, 8.3 points below the national rate. Recent filings have not receded much: 4.4% in 2014 against a 6.9% peak.
That places it #8 of 13 neighborhoods in Myrtle Beach.
One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
