Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Lincoln Park

The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.9/10.

Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 2/10. The severe-burden share is 8%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

Average gross rent is $1,295, 9% above the Knoxville average. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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.
