Camelot Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 2,047 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.5/10 · range 3.5–3.5

Camelot maps to a single census tract in Spartanburg, SC, population 2,047. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.5/10, in the Lower tier. 33% 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 main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. 41% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, ahead of the Spartanburg rate of 32.3%.

On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 2/10. Running cool is tenant-organizing strength, at 2/10. Court records for this tract carry 227 eviction filings.

At $1,237 a month, rents sit 13% over what the rest of Spartanburg commands. The worst year on record was 2010, when filings touched 55.4% of renter households.

That places it #10 of 15 neighborhoods in Spartanburg. Judgments average 10.7% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. The closest comparables inside the same city are Converse Heights and Forest Oaks.

Social vulnerability runs high at 8.1/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $61,635.

One tract means one number: 3.5/10 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.
