Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Ridgeway Cottages
The heaviest input here is economic stress at 7.8/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores about the same as the Greenville County average of 5.6 and in line with the South Carolina statewide average of 5.5. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.
During 2020 and 2021, eviction filings here ran at about 1.18x the pre-COVID monthly baseline, roughly back to the pre-pandemic baseline.
