Heathwood maps to a single census tract in Easley, SC, population 3,871. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. Against a Easley baseline of 36.9%, 65% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
At $1,492 a month, rents sit 58% over what the rest of Easley commands. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.6/10.
On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 8.3/10. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2/10.
Severe burden reaches 12%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The voucher gap is 14.2%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
Among the 8 mapped neighborhoods of Easley, it ranks #7 by risk, the lower third. At 17% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. The closest comparables inside the same city are Crestgate and Townes at Parkridge.
Poverty sits at 7%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $67,432.
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.
