Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Belle Park
What moves this score most is rent-control risk at $1/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores about the same as the Horry County average of 5.3 and in line with the South Carolina statewide average of 5.5. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.
In CDC survey modeling, about 7.3% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 4.6% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.
