Barnes Bend maps to a single census tract in Nashville, TN and houses 3,541 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs 56% against 31.8% citywide, putting Barnes Bend 24.6% over its own city.
At $2,349 a month, rents sit 48% over what the rest of Nashville commands. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1/10.
The voucher gap is 28.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. 24% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.
On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.7/10. Sitting well above the midpoint is supply constraint at 7.9/10. Among the 40 mapped neighborhoods of Nashville, it ranks #32 by risk, the lower third.
Only 17% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $120,962.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
