Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Hollywood-Rose Hill

The heaviest input here is economic stress at $1/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Columbia eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Richland County average of 5.8 and above the South Carolina statewide average of 5.5. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 838 eviction filings here over 5 tracked years, with about 11.7% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 18.8% of renter households in 2011.

The tract is predominantly White and ranks around the 71st percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a middle-of-the-pack reading for social vulnerability.

For a landlord, this is a tract where process discipline pays off. Clean paperwork and steady screening keep the elevated risk manageable.
