Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Pine Needles
81% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well clear of the Orangeburg County average of 39.6%. At $1,370 a month, rents run 62% over what the rest of Orangeburg commands.
The voucher gap is 44.4%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 9.6/10.
On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 9.6/10. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 9.4/10. SNAP participation runs 5.6% against 15.2% nationally.
Nationally it ranks #41,206 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. At 9% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 1.9/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. It tracks the Orangeburg County average of 4.7 closely.
Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $61,250.
