College Court Eviction Risk: Elevated

43% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well above the Greenville rate of 31.6%. 79% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over.

Severe burden reaches 23%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The poverty rate is 29%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 6 to 7.2, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk.

On the high side is housing-court posture at 7.5/10. The filing record is not thin: 1,829 evictions logged in this tract. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.6/10.

The worst year on record was 2011, when filings touched 25.6% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 12.5% in 2018, is well off that peak.

Average gross rent is $940, 7% below the Greenville average of $1,007. That places it #8 of 12 neighborhoods in Greenville. The closest comparables inside the same city are Forest Hills and Moyewood-Paige.

Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.2 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
