Highview Townes Eviction Risk: Lower

2 census tracts · pop 5,179 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.3/10 · range 3–4.4

Highview Townes takes in 2 census tracts of Greenville, SC and houses 5,179 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs 57% against 30.1% citywide, putting Highview Townes 26.9% over its own city.

The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. On the softer side is economic stress, at 1.5/10.

The 2 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 3 to 4.4, a 1.4-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.5/10.

11% 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. Average gross rent is $1,408, 7% above the Greenville average of $1,312.

Among the 17 mapped neighborhoods of Greenville, it ranks #16 by risk, the lower third. For a like-for-like read, Highcroft and Woodland Park at Cleveland Forest score within a fraction of it. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $72,778. 33% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 3.3 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
