Wilkinson Heights maps to a single census tract in Brookdale, SC, population 632. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 6.7/10, Elevated tier. Severe burden reaches 100%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
100% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Brookdale rate of 33.3%. The dominant input is economic stress at 10/10.
The poverty rate is 56%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Food insecurity affects 47.2% of adults, 29.4 points above the national rate.
Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 9.3/10. 23.7% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
On the high side is housing-court posture at 9.2/10. The closest comparables inside the same city are Creekmoor and Woodberry. Social vulnerability runs high at 9.2/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
30% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 6.7/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
