South Ridge maps to a single census tract in Greenville, SC, population 1,456. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. 42% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, markedly above the Greenville rate of 30.1%.
The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. The severe-burden share is 20%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.5/10. SNAP participation is 3.8% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
On the softer side is tenant-organizing strength, at 2.5/10. The voucher gap is 13.0%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
Food insecurity affects 8.2% of adults, 9.6 points below the national rate. Average gross rent is $1,476, 13% above the Greenville average of $1,312.
That places it #12 of 17 neighborhoods in Greenville. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $83,796. 59% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
