The Gulch Eviction Risk: Lower , Nashville

Against Davidson County at 46.0%, 60% of renters here are cost-burdened. At $2,113 a month, rents run 33% over what the rest of Nashville commands. 75% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.

The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 1.7/10. Running cool, state political climate reads 1.9/10.

Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.3/10. The voucher gap is 15.7%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. On the national scale it lands near the 40th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 3.5/10.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. It tracks the Davidson County average of 3.9 closely.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
