Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Blue Ridge Plantation
What pushes it up most is supply constraint at 10/10. At $1,961 a month, rents run 64% over what the rest of Greer commands.
The voucher gap is 50.2%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 9.6/10. The severe-burden share is 28%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.
Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1/10. SNAP participation runs 4.1% against 15.2% nationally.
Against the Greenville County average of 4.1, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.1 points. Food insecurity runs 9.1% against 17.8% nationally.
That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 4% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 3.4/10. Statewide the SC average is 4.0, so this tract runs 1.0 points cooler.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
