Highcroft spans 2 census tracts of Greenville, SC and houses 11,040 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.2/10, Lower tier. 43% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, clearly above the Greenville rate of 30.1%.
The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. The severe-burden share is 27%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. On the softer side is economic stress, at 2/10.
Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.5/10. SNAP participation is 4.2% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity affects 8.7% of adults, 9.1 points below the national rate.
The voucher gap is 11.0%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Average gross rent is $1,450, 11% above the Greenville average of $1,312. Among the 17 mapped neighborhoods of Greenville, it ranks #16 by risk, the lower third.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Highview Townes and Woodland Park at Cleveland Forest. Against average income of $106,816, annual rent is only 16%, a wide affordability cushion.
The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.6 points apart at the extremes.
With little internal variation, 3.2/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
