Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Palmetto Park
The dominant input is court filing pressure at 9.5/10. Severe burden reaches 30%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10.
Set annual rent against average income of $37,540 and the ratio lands at 36%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. On the softer side, tenant-organizing strength reads 2/10.
Average gross rent is $1,117, 11% below the Myrtle Beach average. That is riskier than roughly 47% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
Social vulnerability reads 6.5/10 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.
It tracks the Horry County average of 3.8 closely. 48% 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.
