36% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 2.1/10.
Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.5/10. Average gross rent is $1,101, 16% below the Greenville average of $1,312.
SNAP participation is 6.0% of households versus 15.2% nationally. That places it #10 of 17 neighborhoods in Greenville.

46% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.1/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
