Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Brighton Valley
What moves this score most is rent-control risk at 8.4/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Spartanburg County average of 5.5 and above the South Carolina statewide average of 5.5. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.
The tract is White and Black and ranks around the 48th percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a middle-of-the-pack reading for social vulnerability.
