Kilbourne Heights takes in 3 census tracts of Forest Acres, SC, population 7,310. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, in the Lower tier. Against a Forest Acres baseline of 29.3%, 60% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The severe-burden share is 26%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.6/10. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.3/10.
Filings are well documented here: 933 across 3 observed tracts. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 6.2% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.
Food insecurity affects 6.1% of adults, 11.7 points below the national rate. Filing activity peaked in 2014 at 46.7% of renter households.
Judgments average 1.3% 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.
For a like-for-like read, Brandywine and Rockbridge score within a fraction of it. Against average income of $90,784, annual rent is only 17%, a wide affordability cushion.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
