Country Glen Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 4,199 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.2/10 · range 4.2–4.2

Country Glen maps to a single census tract in Pelzer, SC, population 4,199. The Eviction Risk Score is 4.2/10, in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 39% against 28.4% citywide, putting Country Glen 10.4% over its own city.

24% 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. Pulling the other way is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.6/10. On the high side is housing-court posture at 7.3/10.

Court records for this tract carry 430 eviction filings. Average gross rent is $864, 16% below the Pelzer average of $1,029.

Filing activity peaked in 2011 at 21.1% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 18.3% in 2014 against a 21.1% peak.

Only 25% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Social vulnerability runs high at 7.9/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.

Against average income of $57,713, annual rent is only 18%, a wide affordability cushion.

One tract means one number: 4.2/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
