The Gulch Eviction Risk: Lower , Nashville

25% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 1.7/10. This is renter territory: 68% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

36% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, below the Davidson County average of 46.0%. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.9/10. Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.3/10.

The voucher gap is 18.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. It sits 0.6 points below 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.

Nationally it ranks #61,558 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 4.6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
