Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Norris
What moves this score most is housing court bias at 6.9/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Norris, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores below the Pickens County average of 5.5 and below the South Carolina statewide average of 5.5. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 40 eviction filings here over 6 tracked years, with about 4.9% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 7.7% of renter households in 2013.
The tract is predominantly White and ranks around the 69th percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a middle-of-the-pack reading for social vulnerability.
