Falling Creek Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 2,233 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4/10 · range 4–4

Falling Creek maps to a single census tract in Fairforest, SC, population 2,233. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. 7% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well below the Fairforest rate of 23.4%.

At $813 a month, rents sit 39% under what the rest of Fairforest commands. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.

Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 1.7/10. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.3/10. The poverty rate is 17%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

19.8% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. At 15% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.

Rent takes 18% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.

One tract means one number: 4/10 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.
