Franklin Eviction Risk: Moderate

Average gross rent is $1,997, 68% above the Franklin average. The voucher gap is 55.7%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Against Johnson County at 37.2%, roughly one in two of renters here are cost-burdened.

25% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2/10.

Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.2/10. SNAP participation runs 6.5% against 15.2% nationally.

That is riskier than roughly 44% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 15% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 2.5/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. It tracks the Johnson County average of 3.8 closely. Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $88,207.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
