Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Tusculum Square

Adults with no health insurance runs 30.5% against 11.3% nationally. Set annual rent against average income of $46,087 and the ratio lands at 36%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1.7/10.

This is renter territory: 73% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Running cool, state political climate reads 1.9/10. 17% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

The poverty rate is 24%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Against the Davidson County average of 3.9, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.3 points. Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.3/10.

At $1,383 a month, rents run 13% under what the rest of Nashville commands. Nationally it ranks #29,336 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the TN average is 3.9, so this tract runs 1.3 points hotter.

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.
