Quail Valley spans 3 census tracts of Irmo, SC, population 7,363. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.4/10, placing it in the Lower tier. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1.6/10.
Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 2/10. Rent consumes at least 30% of income for 31% of renter households.
13% 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. Filings are well documented here: 1,312 across 3 observed tracts.
The worst year on record was 2014, when filings touched 62.2% of renter households. SNAP participation is 7.1% of households versus 15.2% nationally. The voucher gap is 10.2%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
That places it #2 of 4 neighborhoods in Irmo. Judgments average 2.6% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
Only 22% 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 Regatta Forest and Southwell.
With little internal variation, 3.4/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
