Boiling Springs Eviction Risk: Lower

Running cool, economic stress reads 1.4/10. 18% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.2/10. Against the Cleveland County average of 3.9, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.9 points. Court records carry 316 eviction filings across 16 observed years.

Average gross rent is $1,018, 15% below the Boiling Springs average. SNAP participation runs 8.2% against 15.2% nationally. Filings peaked in 2003 at 9.7% of renter households.

In a typical year about 5.0% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Only 20% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 6.9/10. Rent consumes only 16% of average household income of $76,333, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
