Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Beaufort
What moves this score most is tenant organizing strength at 8.3/10. 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 Beaufort eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Beaufort County average of 5.5 and above the South Carolina statewide average of 5.5. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 58 eviction filings here over 5 tracked years, with about 8.5% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 10.5% of renter households in 2013.
The tract is predominantly White and ranks around the 12th percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a relatively low-vulnerability reading.
For a landlord, this is a tract where process discipline pays off. Clean paperwork and steady screening keep the elevated risk manageable.
