Kingsport Eviction Risk: Moderate

The severe-burden share is 28%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.5/10.

Running cool, tenant-organizing strength reads 1.5/10. Disability prevalence runs 46.5% against 31.5% nationally.

The poverty rate is 24%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Average gross rent is $739, 19% below the Kingsport average. Against the Sullivan County average of 3.7, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.9 points.

That is riskier than roughly 53% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 9.1/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured. Annual rent works out to 29% of average household income of $30,893.

42% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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