Bridgecreek is a one-tract neighborhood of Socastee, SC and houses 4,986 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4/10, Moderate tier. Against a Socastee baseline of 27.2%, roughly one in two of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
Pulling the other way is eviction-process difficulty, at 2/10. 19% 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.
On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 7.6/10. Court records for this tract carry 253 eviction filings.
The worst year on record was 2011, when filings touched 15.0% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 13.4% in 2014 against a 15.0% peak. At $1,147 a month, rents sit 8% under what the rest of Socastee commands.
That places it #4 of 6 neighborhoods in Socastee. Only 24% 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.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Palmetto Glen and Harbour Towne. Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $62,917.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 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.
