Spring Lake is a one-tract neighborhood of Lexington, SC and houses 4,143 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1/10.
Against a Lexington baseline of 28.8%, 38% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.9/10. The voucher gap is 17.7%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
Disability prevalence reaches 18.8% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute. On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 7.2/10. Food insecurity affects 8.7% of adults, 9.1 points below the national rate.
Among the 10 mapped neighborhoods of Lexington, it ranks #3 by risk, the upper third. At 22% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. The closest comparables inside the same city are Kensington Place and Timberland Place.
Rent takes 17% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 3%, 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. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
