Chattanooga Eviction Risk: Lower

Cost burden runs 53% here against 40.3% across Hamilton County. 24% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.9/10. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 2.3/10.

At $1,137 a month, rents run 9% under what the rest of Chattanooga commands. That is riskier than roughly 35% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 6.8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

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

Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $59,034. 28% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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