Saluda Terrace Eviction Risk: Lower

Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 2.5/10. Court records for this tract carry 2,511 eviction filings.

Against a Columbia baseline of 36.0%, 41% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. Severe burden reaches 10%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

The worst year on record was 2012, when filings touched 56.8% of renter households. Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 3/10.

The most recent observed rate, 32.0% in 2014, is well off that peak. Among the 16 mapped neighborhoods of Columbia, it ranks #12 by risk, the lower third. For a like-for-like read, Melrose Heights and Heathwood score within a fraction of it.

Average gross rent runs $1,171, close to the Columbia average. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $58,577.

56% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

One tract means one number: 3.6/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
