Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Wedgewood-Houston
The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 1.7/10. This is renter territory: 68% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Running cool, state political climate reads 1.9/10.
On the softer side, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.3/10. Against Davidson County at 46.0%, 52% of renters here are cost-burdened. Average gross rent is $1,342, 15% below the Nashville average.
It sits 0.6 points above the Davidson County average of 3.9. This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Nashville. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.
That is riskier than roughly 51% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 7.4/10. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.
Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $67,356.
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.
