Mill Village Eviction Risk: Moderate , Cayce

This is renter territory: 77% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. 23% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.5/10.

It sits 1.5 points above the Lexington County average of 3.9. Cost burden runs 45% here against 37.2% across Lexington County.

Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2.1/10. The poverty rate is 23%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

The filing record is not thin: 1,190 evictions over 5 years of observation. The worst year on record was 2010, when 22.6% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 16.5% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 70% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 7.8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Statewide the SC average is 4.0, so this tract runs 1.4 points hotter. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most 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.
