Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Southwell
Severe burden reaches 32%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1.5/10. Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.9/10.
It sits 1.2 points below the Richland County average of 4.2. The voucher gap is 19.0%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. SNAP participation runs 6.3% against 15.2% nationally.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 404 filings here across 5 tracked years. 45% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, below the Richland County average of 49.7%.
Filings peaked in 2013 at 23.9% of renter households. In a typical year about 21.3% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 18% 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.
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.
