Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Sunny Slopes

Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.9/10. 24% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.7/10. Average gross rent is $1,132, 10% above the Travelers Rest average.

On the national scale it lands near the 49th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 24% 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.

Social vulnerability reads 7.6/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured. Rent takes 30% or more of income for 44% of renters.

It tracks the Greenville County average of 4.1 closely. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $65,330.

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