Columbia Eviction Risk: Moderate

Annualized rent equals 67% of average household income of $14,729, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. What pushes it up most is economic stress at 10/10.

SNAP participation runs 58.1% against 15.2% nationally. The poverty rate is 64%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

Running hot, court filing pressure reads 9.8/10. 65% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly above the Richland County average of 49.7%. 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. At $825 a month, rents run 31% under what the rest of Columbia commands. Adults with no health insurance runs 22.5% against 11.3% nationally.

Against the Richland County average of 4.2, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.0 points. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 844 filings here across 5 tracked years.
