Lincoln Park Eviction Risk: Elevated

On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 9.8/10. The poverty rate is 40%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.

86% 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. 26% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.

23.2% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Set annual rent against average household income of $32,330 and the ratio lands at 36%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Food insecurity affects 38.8% of adults, 21.0 points above the national rate.

Cost burden runs 40% against 31.6% citywide, putting Lincoln Park 8.7% over its own city. The filing record is not thin: 3,491 evictions logged in this tract.

Sitting well above the midpoint is housing-court posture at 7.5/10. The worst year on record was 2005, when filings touched 27.3% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 20.4% in 2018 against a 27.3% peak.

Among the 12 mapped neighborhoods of Greenville, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. The closest comparables inside the same city are Moyewood-Paige and College View.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 7.2/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
