Forrest Hills is a one-tract neighborhood of Landrum, SC, population 3,619. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.8/10, in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 79% against 33.8% citywide, putting Forrest Hills 45.4% over its own city.
36% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. Pulling the other way is supply constraint, at 1/10. Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 8.3/10.
Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.7/10. The poverty rate is 24%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
The filing record is not thin: 67 evictions logged in this tract. Filing activity peaked in 2010 at 17.5% of renter households.
At $539 a month, rents sit 11% over what the rest of Landrum commands. Judgments average 5.5% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. Only 24% 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.
Rent takes 16% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
One tract means one number: 4.8/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
