Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. The severe-burden share is 25%.

Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.5/10. The poverty rate is 20%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
Running cool is tenant-organizing strength, at 2.5/10. Among the 17 mapped neighborhoods of Greenville, it ranks #9 by risk, the middle third.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Arcadia Hills and Legacy Haywood. Average gross rent runs $1,375, close to the Greenville average.
