Lydia Mills is a one-tract neighborhood of Clinton, SC and houses 4,171 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 4.8/10, in the Moderate tier. The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.1/10.
23% 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. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.8/10.
The poverty rate is 22%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 24.1% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.
On the high side is housing-court posture at 7.8/10. 32% of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent. Court records for this tract carry 1,067 eviction filings.
SNAP participation is 25.7% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Filing activity peaked in 2012 at 30.1% of renter households.
Recent filings have not receded much: 25.5% in 2015 against a 30.1% peak. Social vulnerability runs high at 9/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.8/10 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.
