On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10. This is renter territory: 76% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

The severe-burden share is 17%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. The poverty rate is 24%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2.1/10. It sits 1.1 points above the Charleston County average of 3.7.

Food insecurity runs 25.8% against 17.8% nationally. Nationally it ranks #35,669 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 8.7/10.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured. Rent takes 30% or more of income for 47% of renters. Average gross rent is $1,391, close to the North Charleston average.

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.
