North Main Eviction Risk: Moderate

3 census tracts · pop 6,898 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.1/10 · range 3–5.1

North Main spans 3 census tracts of Greenville, SC, population 6,898. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.1/10, Moderate tier. 45% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, clearly above the Greenville rate of 30.1%.

Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. The 3 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 3 to 5.1, a 2.1-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. The severe-burden share is 21%. 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 eviction-process difficulty, at 2.5/10. Running cool is tenant-organizing strength, at 2.5/10. SNAP participation is 7.1% of households versus 15.2% nationally.

Among the 17 mapped neighborhoods of Greenville, it ranks #10 by risk, the middle third. Against average income of $97,852, annual rent is only 15%, a wide affordability cushion. Average gross rent runs $1,246, close to the Greenville average.

43% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 4.1 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.
