· range 3.6–3.6
Brighton Forest maps to a single census tract in Oak Grove, SC and houses 3,702 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.6/10, in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs 58% against 40.1% citywide, putting Brighton Forest 18.2% over its own city.
The dominant input is rent-regulation exposure at 9.1/10. Severe burden reaches 27%. 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 1.9/10. Running cool is supply constraint, at 1.9/10. Court records for this tract carry 276 eviction filings.
Average gross rent is $898, 14% below the Oak Grove average of $1,045. The worst year on record was 2011, when filings touched 22.5% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 14.2% in 2014 against a 22.5% peak.
Among the 4 mapped neighborhoods of Oak Grove, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. Only 20% 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. Against average income of $72,567, annual rent is only 15%, a wide affordability cushion.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.6/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
