Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Spring Mills

The clearest offset is economic stress at 1.3/10. Running cool, state political climate reads 1.8/10.

Well under the midpoint, local political climate reads 1.8/10. Cost burden runs 46% here against 39.5% across Berkeley County.

It sits 0.6 points below the Berkeley County average of 3.6. Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

At 7% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 2.5/10.

Rent consumes only 17% of average household income of $81,389, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing 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.

Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $1,145 a month.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
