Withers Swash is a one-tract neighborhood of Myrtle Beach, SC and houses 2,158 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.7/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Severe burden reaches 43%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Cost burden runs 61% against 36.1% citywide, putting Withers Swash 24.9% over its own city. What pushes the score up most is economic stress at 9.7/10. The poverty rate is 39%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. This is a renter market: 71% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Average gross rent is $913, 28% below the Myrtle Beach average of $1,261.
Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 1.5/10. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 25.0% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. 21.7% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.
Court records for this tract carry 572 eviction filings. Filing activity peaked in 2014 at 32.0% of renter households. That places it #1 of 13 neighborhoods in Myrtle Beach.
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.
