Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Halsey Park
The heaviest input here is supply constraint at 5.4/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures.

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.
The tract is predominantly White and ranks around the 7th percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a relatively low-vulnerability reading.
