· range 3.8–3.8
Lamp Post maps to a single census tract in Inman, SC and houses 2,421 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.8/10, placing it in the Lower tier. Against a Inman baseline of 30.4%, 53% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The dominant input is rent-regulation exposure at 8.3/10. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.8/10. Running hot is housing-court posture at 7.8/10.
Severe burden reaches 13%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The voucher gap is 14.5%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
Only 17% 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. Average gross rent runs $1,386, close to the Inman average.
Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $70,714.
One tract means one number: 3.8/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
