Belton Eviction Risk: Lower

What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 9.6/10. Running cool, economic stress reads 1.1/10.

Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 2/10. Cost burden runs 43% here against 36.8% across Anderson County.

It sits 1.1 points below the Anderson County average of 4.1. Average gross rent is $808, 17% below the Belton average. SNAP participation runs 8.1% against 15.2% nationally.

That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 25% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

Social vulnerability reads 5.8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Rent consumes only 14% of average household income of $67,120, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

Statewide the SC average is 4.0, so this tract runs 1.0 points cooler. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

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