Ware Shoals Eviction Risk: Elevated

The heaviest input here is housing court bias at 9.1/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Ware Shoals, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Greenwood County average of 5.9 and above the South Carolina statewide average of 5.5. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.

In CDC survey modeling, about 16.3% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 11.8% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 270 eviction filings here over 5 tracked years, with about 9.6% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 11.1% of renter households in 2014.

For a landlord, this is a tract where process discipline pays off. Clean paperwork and steady screening keep the elevated risk manageable.
