Rockbridge is a one-tract neighborhood of Forest Acres, SC, population 3,056. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. 18% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well below the Forest Acres rate of 29.3%.
The strongest single driver of the headline number is rent-regulation exposure at 8.1/10. Average gross rent is $930, 26% below the Forest Acres average of $1,263. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.1/10.
On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2.2/10. 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.
8% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. At 17% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Rent takes 12% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
One tract means one number: 3/10 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.
