What drives eviction risk in Charleston
The heaviest input here is supply constraint at $1/10. 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 Charleston eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores below the Berkeley 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.
