Briarwood maps to a single census tract in Dentsville, SC, population 5,310. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.6/10, in the Moderate tier. roughly two in three of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Dentsville rate of 37.5%.
The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.7/10. Severe burden reaches 27%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 8.1/10. The poverty rate is 23%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
On the high side is housing-court posture at 7.7/10. The filing record is not thin: 601 evictions logged in this tract. At $1,413 a month, rents sit 13% over what the rest of Dentsville commands.
The worst year on record was 2014, when filings touched 19.1% of renter households. Among the 4 mapped neighborhoods of Dentsville, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. Judgments average 4.3% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Hampton Trace and Wedgewood. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.3/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
One tract means one number: 5.6/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
