Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Scanlonville

The score leans hardest on supply constraint at 5.4/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Mount Pleasant eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.

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.

During 2020 and 2021, eviction filings here ran at about 0.60x the pre-COVID monthly baseline, well below the pre-pandemic norm, the signature of an eviction moratorium at work.

The tract is predominantly White and ranks around the 28th 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.

For a landlord, conditions here are middle-of-the-road. Standard screening and prompt, documented notices usually keep cases short.
