Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Wellborn Village

The heaviest input here is supply constraint at 5.9/10. 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 North Charleston eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores below the Dorchester County average of 4.8 and below the South Carolina statewide average of 5.5. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.

The tract is predominantly White and ranks around the 18th 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.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 552 eviction filings here over 6 tracked years, with about 23.7% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 33.3% of renter households in 2010.

For a landlord, this is among the easier places to operate: faster process, lighter tenant-protection overhead, and shorter typical cases.
