Old North Knoxville Eviction Risk: Moderate

At $778 a month, rents run 35% under what the rest of Knoxville commands. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1/10.

Severe burden reaches 18%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. The poverty rate is 25%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Running cool, state political climate reads 1.9/10. It sits 1.1 points above the Knox County average of 3.7.

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. That is riskier than roughly 58% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Social vulnerability reads 9.3/10 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 hotter. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.

Rent takes 30% or more of income for 42% of renters.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
