Melrose/Waverly Nashville TN Eviction Risk: Lower

Severe burden reaches 20%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Running cool, state political climate reads 1.9/10.

On the softer side, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.3/10. At $1,820 a month, rents run 15% over what the rest of Nashville commands. Against the Davidson County average of 3.9, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.7 points.

This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") 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 25% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Social vulnerability reads 1.5/10 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.

Rent takes 30% or more of income for 43% of renters. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $89,482.

63% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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.
