Riverland Park is a one-tract neighborhood of Cayce, SC and houses 2,688 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5.6/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. 52% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Cayce rate of 29.8%.
Annualized rent equals 40% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with. The severe-burden share is 28%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 8.2/10. The poverty rate is 26%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.4/10. Court records for this tract carry 521 eviction filings. 14.5% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
Food insecurity affects 27.3% of adults, 9.5 points above the national rate. The worst year on record was 2010, when filings touched 31.2% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 23.8% in 2014 against a 31.2% peak.
That places it #1 of 4 neighborhoods in Cayce.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.6/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
