Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Hampton Townes
The score leans hardest on tenant organizing strength at 9.6/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Berea eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Greenville County average of 5.6 and above the South Carolina statewide average of 5.5. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.
During 2020 and 2021, eviction filings here ran at about 0.66x the pre-COVID monthly baseline, well below the pre-pandemic norm, the signature of an eviction moratorium at work.
In CDC survey modeling, about 30.0% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 21.7% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.
For a landlord, this is a tract where process discipline pays off. Clean paperwork and steady screening keep the elevated risk manageable.
