South Rock Hill is a one-tract suburb of Rock Hill, SC, population 4,565. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.5/10, placing it in the Lower tier. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
On the softer side is supply constraint, at 1/10. Cost burden runs 23% against 32.0% citywide, putting South Rock Hill 8.8% under its own city. Running cool is economic stress, at 1.8/10.
Average gross rent is $1,071, 20% below the Rock Hill average of $1,341. 12% 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.

Among the 9 mapped neighborhoods of Rock Hill, it ranks #7 by risk, the lower third. Judgments average 0.8% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. Only 19% 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 Seven Oaks and Flint Hill. Rent takes 17% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
One tract means one number: 3.5/10 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.
