Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Ritta

Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Running cool, economic stress reads 1/10.

Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.9/10. Against the Knox County average of 3.7, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.7 points.

On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 19% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 4.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Rent consumes only 18% of average household income of $78,079, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

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.

Average gross rent is $1,165, close to the Knoxville average.

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.
