Farmbrook maps to a single census tract in Spartanburg, SC, population 5,797. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
20% 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. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2/10. Against a Spartanburg baseline of 32.3%, 39% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
On the softer side is tenant-organizing strength, at 2/10. The filing record is not thin: 562 evictions logged in this tract.
SNAP participation is 4.9% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Filing activity peaked in 2010 at 68.4% of renter households. Food insecurity affects 9.3% of adults, 8.5 points below the national rate.
Average gross rent is $1,011, 8% below the Spartanburg average of $1,099. Among the 15 mapped neighborhoods of Spartanburg, it ranks #11 by risk, the lower third.
Judgments average 18.1% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. Only 25% 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.
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.
