South Central Eviction Risk: Moderate , Rock Hill

On the high side, economic stress reads 9.5/10. The poverty rate is 38%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Severe burden reaches 24%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Annualized rent equals 36% of average household income of $33,125, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. Housing insecurity runs 31.9% against 14.2% nationally.

Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 24.2% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. At $1,002 a month, rents run 25% under what the rest of Rock Hill commands.

Against the York County average of 3.9, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.9 points. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 180 filings here across 1 tracked years. Cost burden runs about half here against 42.9% across York County.

The worst year on record was 2012, when 33.2% of renter households were served.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
