Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Little Kurdistan
The clearest offset is economic stress at 1.5/10. Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.7/10. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.9/10.
Adults with no health insurance runs 23.0% against 11.3% nationally. Against Davidson County at 46.0%, roughly one in two of renters here are cost-burdened. 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 29% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 8.7/10. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured.
Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. It tracks the Davidson County average of 3.9 closely.
Average gross rent is $1,486, close to the Nashville average. Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $65,204.
50% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
