Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Seymour Heights

The clearest offset is economic stress at 1.3/10. On the softer side, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.4/10. Running cool, state political climate reads 1.9/10.

Severe burden reaches 13%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Cost burden runs 29% here against 34.7% across Sevier County. It sits 0.8 points below the Sevier County average of 3.8.

On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 14% 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 2.8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Against average income of $76,563, annual rent is just 15%. Statewide the TN average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
