Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Creekside Park

Cost burden runs 68% here against 45.9% across Charleston County. The score leans hardest on supply constraint at 10/10. Average gross rent is $3,501, 62% above the Mount Pleasant average.

The voucher gap is 92.4%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 9.7/10.

Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10. Food insecurity runs 6.7% against 17.8% nationally. Housing insecurity runs 5.7% against 14.2% nationally.

It sits 0.7 points below the Charleston County average of 3.7. Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Only 22% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 3.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the SC average is 4.0, so this tract runs 1.0 points cooler.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
