Twin Lake Cottages Eviction Risk: Moderate

2 census tracts · pop 7,132 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.4/10 · range 3–5.2

Twin Lake Cottages takes in 2 census tracts of Greenville, SC, population 7,132. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.4/10, in the Moderate tier. 20% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, markedly below the Greenville rate of 30.1%.

Scores across the 2 constituent tracts range from 3 to 5.2. A 2.2-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. Average gross rent is $937, 29% below the Greenville average of $1,312. The main counterweight is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.1/10.

Running cool is supply constraint, at 2.2/10. Severe burden reaches 14%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 2.9/10. That places it #6 of 17 neighborhoods in Greenville.

Rent takes 18% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. 57% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 4.4 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.
