Wadsworth Hills is a one-tract neighborhood of Spartanburg, SC, population 3,134. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.1/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 52% against 32.3% citywide, putting Wadsworth Hills 19.4% over its own city.
29% 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. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2/10.
On the softer side is tenant-organizing strength, at 2/10. Court records for this tract carry 518 eviction filings.
The poverty rate is 17%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 21.4% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. Food insecurity affects 27.6% of adults, 9.8 points above the national rate.
Filing activity peaked in 2010 at 102.8% of renter households. Among the 15 mapped neighborhoods of Spartanburg, it ranks #8 by risk, the middle third.
Judgments average 23.2% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. The closest comparables inside the same city are Hampton Heights and Hillcrest. Average gross rent runs $1,140, close to the Spartanburg average.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.1/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
