Bellevue Eviction Risk: Lower

2 census tracts · pop 8,977 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.3/10 · range 3.2–3.5

Bellevue takes in 2 census tracts of Nashville, TN and houses 8,977 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.3/10, Lower tier. The severe-burden share is 24%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.7/10. Average gross rent is $1,979, 25% above the Nashville average of $1,586. 38% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, ahead of the Nashville rate of 31.8%.

Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.3/10. On the softer side is economic stress, at 2.5/10. Among the 40 mapped neighborhoods of Nashville, it ranks #25 by risk, the middle third.

Its 2 tracts score within 0.3 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses. Annual rent works out to 29% of average household income of $83,118. 33% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

With little internal variation, 3.3/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
