Knoll Creek is a one-tract neighborhood of Simpsonville, SC, population 8,494. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.3/10, Lower tier. 38% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, ahead of the Simpsonville rate of 28.4%.
The clearest offset is economic stress, at 2/10. 20% 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.
Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.1/10. The voucher gap is 19.8%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 7.1/10. At $1,565 a month, rents sit 11% over what the rest of Simpsonville commands.
Among the 7 mapped neighborhoods of Simpsonville, it ranks #3 by risk, the middle third. For a like-for-like read, Ivy Walk and Lavender Hill score within a fraction of it.
