Falling Waters Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 3,745 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Falling Waters is a one-tract neighborhood of Lexington, SC and houses 3,745 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1/10.

On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.9/10. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 6.6% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. Food insecurity affects 7.4% of adults, 10.4 points below the national rate.

Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 7.2/10. That places it #3 of 10 neighborhoods in Lexington.

Only 3% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. For a like-for-like read, Kensington Place and Timberland Place score within a fraction of it. Poverty sits at 1%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 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.
