Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Coopers Bluff

The heaviest input here is tenant organizing strength at 7.6/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Socastee eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores about the same as the Horry County average of 5.3 and in line with the South Carolina statewide average of 5.5. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 345 eviction filings here over 5 tracked years, with about 18.2% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 19.1% of renter households in 2012.

The tract is predominantly White and ranks around the 48th percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a middle-of-the-pack reading for social vulnerability.

For a landlord, conditions here are middle-of-the-road. Standard screening and prompt, documented notices usually keep cases short.
