Analysis

What drives eviction risk in White Knoll

The heaviest input here is rent-control risk at 7.2/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from White Knoll, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Lexington County average of 5.3 and in line with the South Carolina statewide average of 5.5. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 608 eviction filings here over 5 tracked years, with about 27.5% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 31.0% of renter households in 2014.

The tract is racially mixed and ranks around the 29th percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a relatively low-vulnerability reading.

For a landlord, conditions here are middle-of-the-road. Standard screening and prompt, documented notices usually keep cases short.
