Pigeon Forge Eviction Risk: Moderate

The poverty rate is 40%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 9.2/10. Disability prevalence runs 47.8% against 31.5% nationally.

20% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. It sits 1.6 points above the Sevier County average of 3.8.

Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.7/10. Average gross rent is $815, 23% below the Pigeon Forge average. Against Sevier County at 34.7%, 40% of renters here are cost-burdened.

That is riskier than roughly 70% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 7.4/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Rent consumes only 17% of average household income of $56,250, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

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.
