Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Knoxville
Against the Allegheny County average of 5.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.3 points. The poverty rate is 31%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 7.8/10. Severe burden reaches 16%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. On the high side, economic stress reads 7.7/10.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 465 filings here across 7 tracked years. Filings peaked in 2006 at 15.5% of renter households.
In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. In a typical year about 12.6% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 87% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 8.3/10. Statewide the PA average is 4.6, so this tract runs 2.7 points hotter.
