East Nashville is a 4-tract suburb of Nashville, TN, population 11,774. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.1/10, Moderate tier. 44% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, markedly above the Nashville rate of 31.8%.
Severe burden reaches 26%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The 4 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 3 to 5.2, a 2.2-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.7/10.
Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.3/10. The poverty rate is 18%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. That places it #20 of 40 neighborhoods in Nashville.
The closest comparables inside the same city are The Overton and Monticello. Average gross rent runs $1,536, close to the Nashville average. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $88,278.
51% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 4.1 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
