Shadowood is a one-tract neighborhood of Simpsonville, SC, population 8,056. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. Cost burden runs 60% against 28.4% citywide, putting Shadowood 31.4% over its own city.
The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1/10. 26% 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. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.1/10.
At $1,169 a month, rents sit 17% under what the rest of Simpsonville commands. SNAP participation is 5.4% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 7.1/10. Among the 7 mapped neighborhoods of Simpsonville, it ranks #4 by risk, the middle third. Only 11% 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.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Lavender Hill and Fowler Chase. Rent takes 14% 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. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
