Hillcrest Eviction Risk: Moderate

Severe burden reaches 29%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. 68% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over.

On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 2/10. Well under the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength, at 2/10.

The poverty rate is 19%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. The filing record is not thin: 112 evictions logged in this tract. Filing activity peaked in 2010 at 11.1% of renter households.

Among the 15 mapped neighborhoods of Spartanburg, it ranks #7 by risk, the middle third. Judgments average 1.9% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.

For a like-for-like read, Hampton Heights and Wadsworth Hills score within a fraction of it. Social vulnerability runs high at 7.6/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.

Average gross rent runs $1,147, close to the Spartanburg average. Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $50,645.

One tract means one number: 4.2/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
