Crestgate Eviction Risk: Lower

Average gross rent is $1,538, 62% above the Easley average of $947. 33% 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. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1/10.

On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 8.3/10. Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 2/10.

The voucher gap is 17.8%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. SNAP participation is 4.0% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity affects 9.1% of adults, 8.7 points below the national rate.

Among the 8 mapped neighborhoods of Easley, it ranks #7 by risk, the lower third. At 6% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.

For a like-for-like read, Heathwood and Townes at Parkridge score within a fraction of it. Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $90,550.

One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
