Analysis

What drives eviction risk in University Place

The score leans hardest on supply constraint at 10/10. Average gross rent is $3,501, 239% above the Travelers Rest average. The voucher gap is 168.1%: 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. Annualized rent equals 41% of average household income of $103,056, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

Running cool, economic stress reads 1/10. It sits 1.1 points below the Greenville County average of 4.1. Food insecurity runs 7.9% against 17.8% nationally.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.5% 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. Only 16% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
