Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Kingsport

Cost burden runs 23% here against 35.9% across Sullivan County. On the softer side, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.5/10.

21% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Running cool, tenant-organizing strength reads 1.5/10.

That is riskier than roughly 31% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 17% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 5.3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

It tracks the Sullivan County average of 3.7 closely. Average gross rent is $905, close to the Kingsport average. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $44,583.
