Winding Creek Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 3,813 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.3/10 · range 4.3–4.3

Winding Creek is a one-tract neighborhood of Greer, SC and houses 3,813 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.3/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Pulling the other way is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.5/10.

Rent consumes at least 30% of income for 28% of renter households. The severe-burden share is 20%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

The poverty rate is 20%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. The filing record is not thin: 19 evictions logged in this tract.

Filing activity peaked in 2010 at 10.6% of renter households. At $1,098 a month, rents sit 8% under what the rest of Greer commands.

That places it #4 of 16 neighborhoods in Greer. Judgments average 5.6% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. At 15% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.

For a like-for-like read, Hartness Village and Chestnut Hill Plantation score within a fraction of it. Against average income of $68,696, annual rent is only 19%, a wide affordability cushion.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.3/10 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.
