Kingsport Eviction Risk: Lower

Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.5/10. Well under the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 1.5/10. The poverty rate is 19%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Severe burden reaches 9%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. At $780 a month, rents run 14% under what the rest of Kingsport commands. That is riskier than roughly 27% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 6.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Against average income of $72,886, annual rent is just 13%. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured.

Rent takes 30% or more of income for 33% of renters. It tracks the Sullivan County average of 3.7 closely. 27% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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.
