Knob Hill is a 2-tract neighborhood of Evansville, IN, population 3,275. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1/10.
On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.6/10. Against a Evansville baseline of 29.1%, 35% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 2.2/10. SNAP participation is 4.6% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
Food insecurity affects 9.0% of adults, 8.8 points below the national rate. Among the 7 mapped neighborhoods of Evansville, it ranks #7 by risk, the lower third.
At 8% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Against average income of $87,563, annual rent is only 14%, a wide affordability cushion.
Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.2 points apart at the extremes. Average gross rent runs $991, close to the Evansville average.
With little internal variation, 3/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
