Analysis

What drives eviction risk in West Hills

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

That is riskier than roughly 33% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 5.3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Rent takes 30% or more of income for 40% of renters.

It tracks the Knox County average of 3.7 closely. Average gross rent is $1,126, close to the Knoxville average. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $56,500.

63% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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.
