Lake Zimmerman maps to a single census tract in Roebuck, SC and houses 3,641 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. Against a Roebuck baseline of 30.4%, roughly three in four of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
38% 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 eviction-process difficulty, at 1.6/10. Running cool is supply constraint, at 2.3/10.
Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 2.5/10. SNAP participation is 5.8% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Among the 5 mapped neighborhoods of Roebuck, it ranks #4 by risk, the lower third.
Only 27% 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. The closest comparables inside the same city are Plantation Grove and Ridgecrest Heights.
Rent takes 17% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Average gross rent runs $885, close to the Roebuck average.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
