Analysis
What drives eviction risk in West Nashville
Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1.7/10. Running cool, state political climate reads 1.9/10. On the softer side, economic stress reads 2/10.
Against the Davidson County average of 3.9, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.9 points. Average gross rent is $1,797, 13% above the Nashville average. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). 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.
That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 2.1/10. Statewide the TN average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler.
Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Rent takes 30% or more of income for about half of renters.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
