Converse Heights Eviction Risk: Lower

The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Severe burden reaches 24%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1.7/10. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 2/10. The filing record is not thin: 108 evictions logged in this tract.

SNAP participation is 4.2% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Average gross rent is $1,231, 12% above the Spartanburg average of $1,099. Filing activity peaked in 2010 at 20.2% of renter households.

Food insecurity affects 9.0% of adults, 8.8 points below the national rate. Among the 15 mapped neighborhoods of Spartanburg, it ranks #11 by risk, the lower third. Judgments average 6.5% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.

For a like-for-like read, Forest Oaks and Farmbrook score within a fraction of it. Rent takes 13% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.

One tract means one number: 3/10 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.
