The Gallery at Clemson Eviction Risk: Elevated

around two-thirds of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, far above the Pickens County average of 45.1%. Against the Pickens County average of 4.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 3.3 points.

The score leans hardest on economic stress at 10/10. The poverty rate is 68%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 9.7/10. Set annual rent against average income of $32,653 and the ratio lands at 41%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 9.3/10.

73% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. Food insecurity runs 32.7% against 17.8% nationally. Court records carry 61 eviction filings across 6 observed years.

SNAP participation runs 22.2% against 15.2% nationally. At $1,126 a month, rents run 12% over what the rest of Clemson commands.

The worst year on record was 2011, when 1.6% of renter households were served.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
