Fountain Inn Eviction Risk: Lower

Severe burden reaches 29%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Cost burden runs about half here against 36.0% across Laurens County. Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.7/10.

Running cool, state political climate reads 2.1/10. The voucher gap is 16.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. At $1,088 a month, rents run 8% under what the rest of Fountain Inn commands.

That is riskier than roughly 25% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 6.9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured.

It tracks the Laurens County average of 3.8 closely. Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $65,758.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
