roughly two in three of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well above the Richland County average of 49.7%. The score leans hardest on economic stress at 10/10. Food insecurity runs 56.8% against 17.8% nationally.

SNAP participation runs 56.9% against 15.2% nationally. The poverty rate is 54%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

On the high side, court filing pressure reads 9.8/10. Set annual rent against average income of $21,229 and the ratio lands at 44%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.

At $779 a month, rents run 35% under what the rest of Columbia commands. Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10. 70% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.

The worst year on record was 2014, when 33.7% of renter households were served.
