Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Myers
Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10. Set annual rent against average income of $39,481 and the ratio lands at 38%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.
The severe-burden share is 24%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. 77% 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.
Average gross rent is $1,249, 27% below the Charleston average. The poverty rate is 29%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.
Running cool, supply constraint reads 1.9/10. Against the Charleston County average of 3.7, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.2 points. The filing record is not thin: 556 evictions over 4 years of observation.
SNAP participation runs 23.5% against 15.2% nationally. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 17.0% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
