Summerville Eviction Risk: Lower

Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10. Running cool, tenant-organizing strength reads 1.5/10. Cost burden runs 33% here against 37.8% across Berkeley County.

Court records carry 614 eviction filings across 5 observed years. At $1,678 a month, rents run 10% over what the rest of Summerville commands. The worst year on record was 2014, when 32.8% of renter households were served.

In a typical year about 21.7% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 31st percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 24% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

Social vulnerability reads 5.6/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. It tracks the Berkeley County average of 3.8 closely. Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $89,427.

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.
