What drives eviction risk in Crystal Lake
What moves this score most is eviction process difficulty at 2.5/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. 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 below the Horry County average of 5.3 and below the South Carolina statewide average of 5.5. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 232 eviction filings here over 5 tracked years, with about 20.6% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 25.8% of renter households in 2014.
