Chattanooga Eviction Risk: Moderate

The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.9/10. Adults with no health insurance runs 25.7% against 11.3% nationally.

Disability prevalence runs 45.2% against 31.5% nationally. Severe burden reaches 16%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

On the softer side, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.5/10. Average gross rent is $1,098, 13% below the Chattanooga average.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. On the national scale it lands near the 42nd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 8.2/10.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured. It tracks the Hamilton County average of 3.9 closely.

Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $48,460.

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