Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Bennett
On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10. Running cool, economic stress reads 1.4/10. 65% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.
The severe-burden share is 14%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Court records carry 2,328 eviction filings across 4 observed years.
42% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, lower than the Charleston County average of 45.9%. Average gross rent is $1,590, 11% above the North Charleston average. Filings peaked in 2014 at 54.9% of renter households.
In a typical year about 50.6% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #59,654 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 6.3/10. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. It tracks the Charleston County average of 3.7 closely.
Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
