· range 4.4–4.4
Watson Hills maps to a single census tract in Enoree, SC, population 4,188. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.4/10, in the Moderate tier. Severe burden reaches 55%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.4/10. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.9/10.
57% of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent. Well under the midpoint is housing-court posture, at 2.1/10.
The filing record is not thin: 32 evictions logged in this tract. The poverty rate is 17%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
The worst year on record was 2010, when filings touched 9.3% of renter households. Judgments average 3.8% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
Only 22% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.4/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
