Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Starr
The heaviest input here is rent-control risk at $1/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Starr, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores about the same as the Anderson County average of 5.5 and in line with the South Carolina statewide average of 5.5. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 307 eviction filings here over 5 tracked years, with about 14.0% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 19.3% of renter households in 2014.
The tract is predominantly White and ranks around the 69th percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a middle-of-the-pack reading for social vulnerability.
