Treetops takes in 2 census tracts of Greenville, NC, population 8,937. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.9/10, Moderate tier. Against a Greenville baseline of 31.6%, 58% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.8/10. 32% 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.
Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 5 to 6.5, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. The poverty rate is 21%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
Running hot is housing-court posture at 7.5/10. Court records for this tract carry 4,248 eviction filings. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.6/10.
The worst year on record was 2007, when filings touched 17.7% of renter households. Average gross rent is $913, 9% below the Greenville average of $1,007. Recent filings have not receded much: 29.4% in 2018 against a 17.7% peak.
Among the 12 mapped neighborhoods of Greenville, it ranks #9 by risk, the lower third.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 5.9 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
