Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Longborough
The score leans hardest on supply constraint at $1/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores below the Charleston County average of 5.2 and below the South Carolina statewide average of 5.5. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.
In CDC survey modeling, about 5.1% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 3.4% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 20 eviction filings here over 4 tracked years, with about 3.4% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 5.4% of renter households in 2013.
