Smyrna Eviction Risk: Moderate

Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.6/10. Severe burden reaches 18%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.8/10.

Average gross rent is $1,244, 15% below the Smyrna average. It sits 0.6 points above the Rutherford County average of 3.9.

On the national scale it lands near the 51st percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 10% 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.

Social vulnerability reads 1.8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.

Rent takes 30% or more of income for 50% of renters. Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $68,900.

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.
