Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Belmac

The heaviest input here is supply constraint at 3.2/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Spartanburg eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores below the Spartanburg 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.

The tract is White and Black and ranks around the 46th 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.

In CDC survey modeling, about 15.9% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 10.5% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.
