Brandywine is a one-tract neighborhood of Forest Acres, SC and houses 3,819 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. Against a Forest Acres baseline of 29.3%, 39% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
Average gross rent is $1,641, 30% above the Forest Acres average of $1,263. The voucher gap is 26.4%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
What pushes the score up most is rent-regulation exposure at 8.1/10. The severe-burden share is 17%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.1/10. On the high side is supply constraint at 7.6/10.
The filing record is not thin: 267 evictions logged in this tract. SNAP participation is 4.6% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
Food insecurity affects 8.2% of adults, 9.6 points below the national rate. The worst year on record was 2014, when filings touched 29.9% of renter households. Judgments average 3.9% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
At 22% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
