Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Kingsport

What moves this score most is supply constraint at 5.3/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores about the same as the Sullivan County average of 3.8 and in line with the Tennessee statewide average of 4.3. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.
