Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Jacobs Creek
Against Richland County at 49.7%, 74% of renters here are cost-burdened. The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 9.8/10. Annualized rent equals 43% of average household income of $47,262, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.
The voucher gap is 30.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Sitting well above the midpoint, supply constraint reads 8/10. It sits 1.5 points above the Richland County average of 4.2.
The poverty rate is 24%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Running cool, state political climate reads 2.1/10. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 14.8% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
That is riskier than roughly 74% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 9% 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.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 3.3/10.
