Three Points Eviction Risk: Moderate , Columbia

The score leans hardest on economic stress at $1/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Columbia eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Richland County average of 5.8 and above the South Carolina statewide average of 5.5. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 211 eviction filings here over 5 tracked years, with about 37.2% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 39.4% of renter households in 2010.

In CDC survey modeling, about 42.4% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 36.6% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.

For a landlord, this is a tract where process discipline pays off. Clean paperwork and steady screening keep the elevated risk manageable.
