Jessica Lakes maps to a single census tract in Red Hill, SC, population 3,120. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.2/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Red Hill baseline of 24.3%, 69% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
30% 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. Set annual rent against average household income of $45,110 and the ratio lands at 32%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.
Pulling the other way is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.3/10. The poverty rate is 24%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
Court records for this tract carry 308 eviction filings. On the high side is housing-court posture at 7/10. Filing activity peaked in 2014 at 28.4% of renter households.
17.7% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. That places it #1 of 4 neighborhoods in Red Hill.
Judgments average 9.8% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. Only 21% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. For a like-for-like read, Quail Creek Village and Linda Lakes score within a fraction of it.
Social vulnerability runs high at 8.4/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.2/10 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.
