Hollywood-Rose Hill Eviction Risk: Moderate , Columbia

74% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, far above the Richland County average of 49.7%. The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 9.8/10. Running hot, economic stress reads 9.8/10.

The poverty rate is 39%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. At $788 a month, rents run 35% under what the rest of Columbia commands. Annualized rent equals 38% of average household income of $24,643, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

80% 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. Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10.

It sits 1.0 points above the Richland County average of 4.2. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 283 filings here across 5 tracked years.

The worst year on record was 2014, when 10.7% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
