The severe-burden share is 15%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The poverty rate is 19%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.

Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 7.6/10. Court records for this tract carry 345 eviction filings. The worst year on record was 2012, when filings touched 19.1% of renter households.

Recent filings have not receded much: 18.9% in 2014 against a 19.1% peak. Among the 6 mapped neighborhoods of Socastee, it ranks #2 by risk, the upper third. Only 25% 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.

Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $56,667.

One tract means one number: 4.6/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
