Parkdale is a one-tract neighborhood of Spartanburg, SC, population 3,653. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.8/10, in the Moderate tier. 55% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Spartanburg rate of 32.3%.
The severe-burden share is 33%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
The poverty rate is 30%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 2/10. Well under the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength, at 2/10.
Average gross rent is $899, 18% below the Spartanburg average of $1,099. Court records for this tract carry 265 eviction filings.
15.1% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Food insecurity affects 28.6% of adults, 10.8 points above the national rate. Filing activity peaked in 2010 at 47.8% of renter households.
That places it #1 of 15 neighborhoods in Spartanburg. Judgments average 12.8% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.8/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
