The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1/10.
Average gross rent is $861, 28% below the Knoxville average. Severe burden reaches 16%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Running cool, state political climate reads 1.9/10.
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.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 6.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Against average income of $65,098, annual rent is just 16%.
Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. It tracks the Knox County average of 3.7 closely.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
