Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Brandywine
What moves this score most is rent-control risk at 8.1/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself.

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 267 eviction filings here over 5 tracked years, with about 22.2% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 29.9% of renter households in 2014.
The tract is predominantly White and ranks around the 48th 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.
