Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Pettigru Street Historic District

At $1,958 a month, rents run 49% over what the rest of Greenville commands. The voucher gap is 49.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 9.6/10.

On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10. 22% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

72% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. SNAP participation runs 3.9% against 15.2% nationally. Housing insecurity runs 6.5% against 14.2% nationally.

That is riskier than roughly 38% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 4.2/10.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

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.
