Cherokee Hollow maps to a single census tract in Valley Falls, SC and houses 3,478 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.8/10, in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs 62% against 29.7% citywide, putting Cherokee Hollow 31.8% over its own city.
The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 9.3/10. At $1,385 a month, rents sit 36% over what the rest of Valley Falls commands.
Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.5/10. Severe burden reaches 20%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Running hot is housing-court posture at 7.6/10. The filing record is not thin: 61 evictions logged in this tract.
The voucher gap is 14.4%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Filing activity peaked in 2010 at 32.3% of renter households. Judgments average 10.1% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
At 22% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. For a like-for-like read, Emerald Springs and Melody Creek score within a fraction of it.
Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $78,299.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.8/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
