Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Bearcat Village
What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 9.8/10. Severe burden reaches 28%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.
On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 9.4/10. On the softer side, state political climate reads 2.1/10.
The filing record is not thin: 746 evictions over 5 years of observation. SNAP participation runs 7.5% against 15.2% nationally.
Filings peaked in 2015 at 51.9% of renter households. In a typical year about 31.6% of renter households face a filing.
On the national scale it lands near the 35th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. At 18% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 5.7/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
Rent consumes only 16% of average household income of $66,848, an unusually wide affordability cushion. It tracks the Greenwood County average of 4.1 closely.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
