Williamston Eviction Risk: Lower

Against Anderson County at 36.8%, about one in five of renters here are cost-burdened. On the softer side, economic stress reads 1.6/10.

Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.7/10. 12% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

It sits 0.9 points below the Anderson County average of 4.1. Nationally it ranks #63,308 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 4.8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Rent consumes only 18% of average household income of $57,293, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

Average gross rent is $842, close to the Williamston average. 34% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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.
