Spring Valley Eviction Risk: Elevated , Orangeburg

25% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well below the Orangeburg County average of 39.6%. Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 9.6/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 9.4/10. Severe burden reaches 22%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. It sits 1.4 points above the Orangeburg County average of 4.7.

The poverty rate is 22%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 553 filings here across 2 tracked years. Filings peaked in 2011 at 31.8% of renter households.

At $919 a month, rents run 8% over what the rest of Orangeburg commands. In a typical year about 27.2% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 79% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 6.4/10. Statewide the SC average is 4.0, so this tract runs 2.1 points hotter.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
