Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Greer
What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 9.6/10. Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.5/10.
Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2.1/10. That is riskier than roughly 46% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
Only 10% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 8.5/10.
Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured. 43% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent. It tracks the Greenville County average of 4.1 closely.
Average gross rent is $1,106, close to the Greer average. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $54,500.
Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
