Irmo Eviction Risk: Lower

Cost burden runs roughly three in four here against 49.7% across Richland County. What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 9.8/10.

Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1/10. The voucher gap is 30.8%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

On the softer side, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.9/10. SNAP participation runs 4.1% against 15.2% nationally. It sits 1.2 points below the Richland County average of 4.2.

Food insecurity runs 7.8% against 17.8% nationally. Average gross rent is $1,698, 15% above the Irmo average. Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

At 8% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 1.7/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the SC average is 4.0, so this tract runs 1.0 points cooler.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
