Ocean Creek Resort maps to a single census tract in North Myrtle Beach, SC and houses 4,616 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.4/10, in the Lower tier. The main counterweight is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.5/10.
The severe-burden share is 21%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Against a North Myrtle Beach baseline of 34.2%, 42% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
Running cool is economic stress, at 2.5/10. Court records for this tract carry 377 eviction filings.
SNAP participation is 6.6% of households versus 15.2% nationally. The worst year on record was 2011, when filings touched 13.3% of renter households.
Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 7/10. Recent filings have not receded much: 11.9% in 2014 against a 13.3% peak.
That places it #1 of 5 neighborhoods in North Myrtle Beach. At 23% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
Average gross rent runs $1,257, close to the North Myrtle Beach average. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $63,603.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.4/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
