Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Pettigru Street Historic District
The heaviest input here is supply constraint at $1/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores about the same as the Greenville County average of 5.6 and in line with the South Carolina statewide average of 5.5. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.
During 2020 and 2021, eviction filings here ran at about 0.86x the pre-COVID monthly baseline, a little under the pre-pandemic norm.
In CDC survey modeling, about 6.5% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 4.4% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.
For a landlord, conditions here are middle-of-the-road. Standard screening and prompt, documented notices usually keep cases short.
