Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Clinton
The heaviest input here is tenant organizing strength at 9.1/10. 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 Clinton, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Laurens County average of 5.6 and above the South Carolina statewide average of 5.5. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.
In CDC survey modeling, about 9.9% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 6.5% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 519 eviction filings here over 5 tracked years, with about 18.4% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 19.2% of renter households in 2011.
