South Meadows Farms maps to a single census tract in Arkwright, SC and houses 2,547 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.8/10, Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 63% against 27.6% citywide, putting South Meadows Farms 35.6% over its own city.
Severe burden reaches 34%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9/10.
On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.5/10. The poverty rate is 25%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
Food insecurity affects 31.2% of adults, 13.4 points above the national rate. Running cool is supply constraint, at 2.4/10.
The filing record is not thin: 146 evictions logged in this tract. 15.4% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
The worst year on record was 2010, when filings touched 50.5% of renter households. Average gross rent is $899, 8% below the Arkwright average of $981.
Judgments average 20.8% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. Social vulnerability runs high at 9.7/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $45,000.
One tract means one number: 5.8/10 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.
