Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Sullivan's Island Historic District
The heaviest input here is rent-control risk at 8.6/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Sullivan's Island, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Charleston County average of 5.2 and above the South Carolina statewide average of 5.5. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.
During 2020 and 2021, eviction filings here ran at about 0.67x the pre-COVID monthly baseline, well below the pre-pandemic norm, the signature of an eviction moratorium at work.
In CDC survey modeling, about 3.8% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 2.8% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.
For a landlord, this is a tract where process discipline pays off. Clean paperwork and steady screening keep the elevated risk manageable.
