Harbor Cove is a one-tract neighborhood of Lexington, SC and houses 4,138 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. Average gross rent is $794, 49% below the Lexington average of $1,545.
34% 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. Pulling the other way is supply constraint, at 1.1/10.
Running cool is economic stress, at 1.7/10. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.9/10.
Against a Lexington baseline of 28.8%, 34% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. SNAP participation is 3.3% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
Court records for this tract carry 82 eviction filings. Food insecurity affects 6.8% of adults, 11.0 points below the national rate.
Filing activity peaked in 2013 at 9.6% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 6.5% in 2014 against a 9.6% peak.
Among the 10 mapped neighborhoods of Lexington, it ranks #3 by risk, the upper third. Only 7% 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.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Kensington Place and Timberland Place. Against average income of $124,479, annual rent is only 8%, a wide affordability cushion.
One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
