Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Centerville
What moves this score most is rent-control risk at 4.8/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from James Island eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores about the same as the Charleston County average of 5.2 and in line with the South Carolina statewide average of 5.5. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 427 eviction filings here over 4 tracked years, with about 11.6% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 11.9% of renter households in 2014.
During 2020 and 2021, eviction filings here ran at about 0.48x the pre-COVID monthly baseline, well below the pre-pandemic norm, the signature of an eviction moratorium at work.
For a landlord, conditions here are middle-of-the-road. Standard screening and prompt, documented notices usually keep cases short.
