Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Whites Village

Severe burden reaches 25%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.9/10.

Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 2/10. 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 47% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Social vulnerability reads 5.4/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Rent takes 30% or more of income for 38% of renters.

It tracks the Knox County average of 3.7 closely. Average gross rent is $1,171, close to the Knoxville average. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $59,395.

34% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
