Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Greenwood

On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 9.4/10. 68% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.

SNAP participation runs 26.2% against 15.2% nationally. Average gross rent is $732, 13% below the Greenwood average.

Nationally it ranks #20,506 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 9.1/10.
