Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Ridgecrest Heights

The dominant input is court filing pressure at 9.8/10. Average gross rent is $1,219, 40% above the Roebuck average.

Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.6/10. Severe burden reaches 18%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Running cool, state political climate reads 2.1/10. It sits 0.9 points below the Spartanburg County average of 4.0. The filing record is not thin: 433 evictions over 1 years of observation.

Filings peaked in 2010 at 67.6% of renter households. In a typical year about 67.6% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 22% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 19% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 7.2/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
