Cane Brake maps to a single census tract in Greer, SC and houses 8,647 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. At $1,815 a month, rents sit 52% over what the rest of Greer commands.
The voucher gap is 39.0%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. What pushes the score up most is supply constraint at 8.9/10.
Rent consumes at least 30% of income for about a quarter of renter households. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1.3/10. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.5/10.
The severe-burden share is 14%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. SNAP participation is 3.9% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity affects 9.0% of adults, 8.8 points below the national rate.
Among the 16 mapped neighborhoods of Greer, it ranks #9 by risk, the middle third. Only 14% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
For a like-for-like read, Blue Ridge Plantation and Meadowview score within a fraction of it.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
