Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Marlowe
The main counterweight is state political climate at 1.8/10. Running cool, local political climate reads 1.8/10.
Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.8/10. On the national scale it lands near the 44th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 17% 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 2.1/10. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.
Model confidence here is 65%, lower than typical because some ACS inputs for this tract carry wide margins of error, so read the score as a band, not a point. Rent takes 30% or more of income for 41% of renters. It tracks the Berkeley County average of 3.6 closely.
Average gross rent runs $965 a month. Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $53,542.
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.
