Summerland maps to a single census tract in Batesburg-Leesville, SC and houses 3,567 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.9/10, in the Moderate tier. The clearest offset is supply constraint, at 1.1/10.
Severe burden reaches 26%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.5/10.
On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 7.8/10. At $794 a month, rents sit 17% under what the rest of Batesburg-Leesville commands. The filing record is not thin: 543 evictions logged in this tract.
Filing activity peaked in 2011 at 25.6% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 21.3% in 2014 against a 25.6% peak. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.3/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Rent takes 18% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Rent consumes at least 30% of income for 43% of renter households.
34% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.9/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
