Summer Place Eviction Risk: Moderate

2 census tracts · pop 2,453 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.8/10 · range 4.8–4.8

Summer Place takes in 2 census tracts of Spartanburg, SC and houses 2,453 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 4.8/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Spartanburg baseline of 32.3%, 57% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

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 28%, 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. Disability prevalence reaches 47.5% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute. 21.4% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.

Filings are well documented here: 227 across 2 observed tracts. The worst year on record was 2010, when filings touched 42.1% of renter households.
