Prestwick maps to a single census tract in Fort Mill, SC, population 8,014. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. 63% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Fort Mill rate of 32.0%.
Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1/10. 24% 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. Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 7.8/10.
Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.4/10. The filing record is not thin: 39 evictions logged in this tract. SNAP participation is 4.8% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
The worst year on record was 2012, when filings touched 10.2% of renter households. Among the 4 mapped neighborhoods of Fort Mill, it ranks #2 by risk, the middle third. Judgments average 1.6% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
Only 20% 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. Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Average gross rent runs $1,429, close to the Fort Mill average. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $81,140.
One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
