Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Bearcat Village
What moves this score most is tenant organizing strength at 9.4/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself.

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 11.4% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 7.3% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 746 eviction filings here over 5 tracked years, with about 31.6% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 51.9% of renter households in 2015.
