Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Tract 54003971206

The main counterweight is state political climate at 1.8/10. Well under the midpoint, local political climate reads 1.8/10. Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.8/10.

10% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Nationally it ranks #54,273 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. At 15% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

Social vulnerability reads 5.1/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Rent consumes only 16% of average household income of $91,875, an unusually wide affordability cushion. 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.

It tracks the Berkeley County average of 3.6 closely. Average gross rent runs $1,234 a month.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
