Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Westlyn

Average gross rent is $1,665, 40% above the Knoxville average. The severe-burden share is 28%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1/10. Running cool, state political climate reads 1.9/10.

It sits 0.7 points below the Knox County average of 3.7. On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Social vulnerability reads 3.1/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the TN average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $80,291.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
