Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Ridgeway Cottages

Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10. Running cool, economic stress reads 1.2/10.

21% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Food insecurity runs 7.6% against 17.8% nationally.

It sits 1.1 points below the Greenville County average of 4.1. The voucher gap is 15.5%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

Average gross rent is $1,508, 15% above the Greenville average. Housing insecurity runs 6.9% against 14.2% nationally. That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Only 13% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Social vulnerability reads 1.5/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Statewide the SC average is 4.0, so this tract runs 1.0 points cooler. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
