Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Catawba
The heaviest input here is housing court bias at $1/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Catawba, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores about the same as the York County average of 5.1 and in line with the South Carolina statewide average of 5.5. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.
The tract is predominantly White and ranks around the 52nd 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.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 41 eviction filings here over 1 tracked years, with about 11.7% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 11.7% of renter households in 2012.
