Forest Hills Eviction Risk: Lower , North Charleston

Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10. On the softer side, state political climate reads 2.1/10.

Severe burden reaches 10%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 3,029 filings here across 6 tracked years.

The worst year on record was 2011, when 73.7% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 63.6% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 25% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 1.9/10. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

45% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent. It tracks the Dorchester County average of 3.5 closely. Average gross rent is $1,405, close to the North Charleston average.

Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $76,917. 31% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
