Brentwood Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 11,969 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Brentwood maps to a single census tract in Greer, SC and houses 11,969 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs 45% against 26.1% citywide, putting Brentwood 18.7% over its own city.

Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1/10. Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.5/10. 19% 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.

Average gross rent is $1,367, 14% above the Greer average of $1,198. SNAP participation is 5.7% of households versus 15.2% nationally.

Among the 16 mapped neighborhoods of Greer, it ranks #9 by risk, the middle third. At 19% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.

For a like-for-like read, Cane Brake and Meadowview score within a fraction of it. Rent takes 18% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
