Old Hickory Hills maps to a single census tract in Nashville, TN, population 7,928. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, in the Lower tier. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.2/10.
Average gross rent is $2,098, 32% above the Nashville average of $1,586. On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.7/10. Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.3/10.
The voucher gap is 14.8%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Cost burden runs 35% against 31.8% citywide, putting Old Hickory Hills 3.3% over its own city. Among the 40 mapped neighborhoods of Nashville, it ranks #32 by risk, the lower third.
At 20% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. The closest comparables inside the same city are Music Valley Village and Cambridge Park. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $116,438.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
