Jericho Ridge is a one-tract neighborhood of Easley, SC, population 3,693. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.4/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. 29% 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 dominant input is rent-regulation exposure at 8.3/10. Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 2/10.
The poverty rate is 20%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. The filing record is not thin: 1,015 evictions logged in this tract.
Average gross rent is $1,098, 16% above the Easley average of $947. Sitting well above the midpoint is housing-court posture at 7.4/10. Filing activity peaked in 2014 at 41.6% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 22.3% in 2015, is well off that peak. That places it #1 of 8 neighborhoods in Easley. 40% of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent.
For a like-for-like read, The cottages at Wilbur Street and Couch Place score within a fraction of it. Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $57,926.
46% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.4/10 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.
