Shadow Creek Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 3,495 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Shadow Creek is a one-tract neighborhood of Nashville, TN, population 3,495. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1/10.

Cost burden runs 23% against 31.8% citywide, putting Shadow Creek 9.2% under its own city. On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.7/10. Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.3/10.

The severe-burden share is 8%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. That places it #32 of 40 neighborhoods in Nashville.

At 10% 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 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

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.
