Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Nashville
The heaviest input here is tenant organizing strength at 3.3/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself.

The tract is racially mixed and ranks around the 56th 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.
During 2020 and 2021, eviction filings here ran at about 1.24x the pre-COVID monthly baseline, roughly back to the pre-pandemic baseline.
