Belmac maps to a single census tract in Spartanburg, SC and houses 1,920 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. Against a Spartanburg baseline of 32.3%, 90% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The severe-burden share is 31%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. On the softer side is economic stress, at 1.7/10.
Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 2/10. Court records for this tract carry 80 eviction filings.
Filing activity peaked in 2010 at 31.4% of renter households. At $992 a month, rents sit 10% under what the rest of Spartanburg commands. That places it #11 of 15 neighborhoods in Spartanburg.
Judgments average 10.6% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. Only 22% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. For a like-for-like read, Converse Heights and Forest Oaks score within a fraction of it.
Rent takes 19% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
