Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Harbour Towne
The score leans hardest on 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 above the Horry County average of 5.3 and above 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 521 eviction filings here over 5 tracked years, with about 15.1% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 17.4% of renter households in 2014.
In CDC survey modeling, about 17.1% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 10.5% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.
For a landlord, conditions here are middle-of-the-road. Standard screening and prompt, documented notices usually keep cases short.
