Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Shelter Cove

The score leans hardest on supply constraint at 8.2/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Hilton Head Island eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores below the Beaufort County average of 5.5 and below the South Carolina statewide average of 5.5. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.

In CDC survey modeling, about 4.0% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 2.6% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 24 eviction filings here over 5 tracked years, with about 1.5% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 1.9% of renter households in 2011.

For a landlord, conditions here are middle-of-the-road. Standard screening and prompt, documented notices usually keep cases short.
