Old Orchid is a one-tract neighborhood of Baxter Village, SC, population 10,712. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. 36% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, clearly below the Baxter Village rate of 47.7%.
Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. On the softer side is housing-court posture, at 1.4/10. 21% 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.
Running cool is economic stress, at 1.4/10. Court records for this tract carry 205 eviction filings.
SNAP participation is 4.4% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Filing activity peaked in 2012 at 24.8% of renter households. Average gross rent is $1,190, 12% below the Baxter Village average of $1,345.
Food insecurity affects 9.7% of adults, 8.1 points below the national rate. Judgments average 2.7% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. At 26% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
Against average income of $131,246, annual rent is only 11%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
