Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Rural Ridge

The score leans hardest on economic stress at 6.2/10. 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 Washington County average of 4.0 and in line with the Tennessee statewide average of 4.3. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.

For a landlord, conditions here are middle-of-the-road. Standard screening and prompt, documented notices usually keep cases short.
