Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Ocean Creek Resort

Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.5/10. Severe burden reaches 21%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. On the softer side, state political climate reads 2.1/10.

SNAP participation runs 6.6% against 15.2% nationally. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 377 filings here across 5 tracked years. The worst year on record was 2011, when 13.3% of renter households were served.

In a typical year about 12.4% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 29th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 23% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

Social vulnerability reads 7.2/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured.

42% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent. It tracks the Horry County average of 3.8 closely. Average gross rent is $1,257, close to the North Myrtle Beach average.

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.
