Hollywood-Rose Hill is a 7-tract neighborhood of Columbia, SC and houses 23,050 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.7/10, in the Moderate tier. Severe burden reaches 40%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
59% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Columbia rate of 36.0%. The poverty rate is 42%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
The 7 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 3 to 5.2, a 2.2-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. Running hot is economic stress at 7.5/10.
Court records carry 3,493 eviction filings across its 7 observed tracts. Filing activity peaked in 2014 at 58.2% of renter households.
Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 3/10. Average gross rent is $1,077, 11% below the Columbia average of $1,204.
Among the 16 mapped neighborhoods of Columbia, it ranks #7 by risk, the middle third. Judgments average 1.5% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 4.7 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
