Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1/10. On the softer side, state political climate reads 2.1/10. Severe burden reaches 14%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Average gross rent is $1,390, 18% below the Goose Creek average. The filing record is not thin: 619 evictions over 5 years of observation.

The worst year on record was 2014, when 29.1% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 22.6% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 6.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the SC average is 4.0, so this tract runs 1.0 points cooler.
