Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Mountville
What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 9.7/10. On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10. Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.9/10.
12% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. The filing record is not thin: 147 evictions over 5 years of observation. Against the Laurens County average of 3.8, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.7 points.
The worst year on record was 2014, when 20.2% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 15.8% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 22% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
Only 17% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Social vulnerability reads 6.7/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
Rent consumes only 13% of average household income of $64,413, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the SC average is 4.0, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler.
Average gross rent is $710, close to the Mountville average.
