Anderson Eviction Risk: Moderate

The score leans hardest on economic stress at 9.9/10. Food insecurity runs 45.3% against 17.8% nationally. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 9.6/10.

The poverty rate is 40%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. The severe-burden share is 27%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 9/10.

Set annual rent against average income of $28,991 and the ratio lands at 33%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. This is renter territory: 67% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 24.2% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

It sits 1.5 points above the Anderson County average of 4.1. At $804 a month, rents run 18% under what the rest of Anderson commands. That is riskier than roughly 73% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Social vulnerability reads 9.9/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the SC average is 4.0, so this tract runs 1.6 points hotter.

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.
