Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Happy Holler

Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.1/10.

The poverty rate is 25%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Running cool, state political climate reads 1.9/10. Average gross rent is $947, 20% below the Knoxville average.

It sits 1.1 points above the Knox County average of 3.7. The severe-burden share is 9%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Knoxville. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. That is riskier than roughly 58% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 7/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the TN average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points hotter.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.
