Rosewood Eviction Risk: Moderate , Columbia

27% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10. 73% 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.

On the softer side, state political climate reads 2.1/10. The poverty rate is 23%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Against the Richland County average of 4.2, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.0 points.

At $1,089 a month, rents run 10% under what the rest of Columbia commands. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Columbia. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. On the national scale it lands near the 65th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 8.3/10. Statewide the SC average is 4.0, so this tract runs 1.2 points hotter.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
