Lockhaven is a one-tract neighborhood of Nashville, TN, population 5,365. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs roughly one in two against 31.8% citywide, putting Lockhaven 16.2% over its own city.
Average gross rent is $2,397, 51% above the Nashville average of $1,586. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1/10. The voucher gap is 31.2%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.7/10. 19% 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.
Sitting well above the midpoint is supply constraint at 8.1/10. That places it #32 of 40 neighborhoods in Nashville. Only 26% 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 $126,380.
One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
