Cambria Place Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 3,891 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.7/10 · range 4.7–4.7

Cambria Place maps to a single census tract in Gaston, SC and houses 3,891 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 4.7/10, in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 42% against 19.7% citywide, putting Cambria Place 22.0% over its own city.

The clearest offset is supply constraint, at 1.9/10. Severe burden reaches 20%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 2/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 7.7/10. Court records for this tract carry 672 eviction filings. The poverty rate is 17%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Filing activity peaked in 2012 at 29.5% of renter households. At $893 a month, rents sit 10% under what the rest of Gaston commands.

Recent filings have not receded much: 28.7% in 2014 against a 29.5% peak. Social vulnerability runs high at 7.8/10, 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.

33% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

One tract means one number: 4.7/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
