Goose Creek Eviction Risk: Lower

Running cool, economic stress reads 1/10. On the softer side, state political climate reads 2.1/10. At $1,328 a month, rents run 21% under what the rest of Goose Creek commands.

12% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. The filing record is not thin: 1,477 evictions over 5 years of observation. The worst year on record was 2014, when 75.6% of renter households were served.

In a typical year about 67.0% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #56,048 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Only 21% 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. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 4.6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
