What drives eviction risk in Nashville
The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure at 1.7/10. 74% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.9/10.
The poverty rate is 27%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 2.1/10.
It sits 1.3 points above the Davidson County average of 3.9. Average gross rent is $1,306, 18% below the Nashville average. This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Nashville. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.
