What drives eviction risk in Pelican Harbor
The score leans hardest on economic stress at 9.3/10. 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 Myrtle Beach eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above 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.
The tract is predominantly Black and ranks around the 95th percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. High vulnerability tends to track with higher eviction-filing rates when rents climb.
In CDC survey modeling, about 30.7% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 23.9% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.
For a landlord, conditions here are middle-of-the-road. Standard screening and prompt, documented notices usually keep cases short.
