River Bend Eviction Risk: Elevated

1 census tracts · pop 3,898 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 7.3/10 · range 7.3–7.3

River Bend is a one-tract neighborhood of Fingerville, SC, population 3,898. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 7.3/10, Elevated tier. Severe burden reaches 41%. 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 9.9/10. Running cool is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 1.8/10.

The poverty rate is 24%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. 53% of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent.

Only 25% 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. Social vulnerability runs high at 7.7/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.

Average gross rent runs $818, close to the Fingerville average. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $47,537.

One tract means one number: 7.3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
