Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Ridgewalk Cottages

The voucher gap is 55.4%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 9.6/10. Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 9.6/10.

SNAP participation runs 2.8% against 15.2% nationally. Against the Greenville County average of 4.1, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.1 points.

11% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 4.0% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 8% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 1.4/10.

Against average income of $160,693, annual rent is just 15%. Statewide the SC average is 4.0, so this tract runs 1.0 points cooler. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
