Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $1,246, close to the Greer average.
Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $69,375. 29% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
