Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Mule Hollow
26% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Running cool, supply constraint reads 1/10. Disability prevalence runs 49.3% against 31.5% nationally.
At $852 a month, rents run 28% under what the rest of Knoxville commands. On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.9/10. It sits 1.1 points above the Knox County average of 3.7.
Adults with no health insurance runs 18.8% against 11.3% nationally. 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. That is riskier than roughly 58% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 9.2/10. Statewide the TN average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
