University Place Eviction Risk: Lower

Average gross rent is $3,501, 239% above the Travelers Rest average of $1,033. The dominant input is supply constraint at 10/10.

The voucher gap is 168.1%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Annualized rent equals 41% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with. Running cool is economic stress, at 1/10.

Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 8.9/10. Against a Travelers Rest baseline of 38.1%, 47% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 6.2% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.

3.5% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, below a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Among the 5 mapped neighborhoods of Travelers Rest, it ranks #5 by risk, the lower third.

Only 16% 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 Glastonbury Village and Sunny Slopes. Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 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.
