Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Bridgecreek
The heaviest input here is tenant organizing strength at 7.6/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself.

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.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 253 eviction filings here over 5 tracked years, with about 12.0% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 15.0% of renter households in 2011.
The tract is predominantly White and ranks around the 67th percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a middle-of-the-pack reading for social vulnerability.
