Three Points Eviction Risk: Moderate , Columbia

On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10. Set annual rent against average income of $39,375 and the ratio lands at 38%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. The poverty rate is 35%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

Food insecurity runs 35.1% against 17.8% nationally. Sitting well above the midpoint, economic stress reads 8.8/10.

19% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Housing insecurity runs 27.2% against 14.2% nationally.

Against the Richland County average of 4.2, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.0 points. Court records carry 775 eviction filings across 5 observed years. Filings peaked in 2014 at 34.3% of renter households.

In a typical year about 29.5% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 65% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 8.6/10.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
