The Vistas takes in 2 census tracts of Nashville, TN and houses 8,914 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.5/10, Moderate tier. 45% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, clearly above the Nashville rate of 31.8%.
Severe burden reaches 22%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.7/10. Scores across the 2 constituent tracts range from 3.5 to 5.2. A 1.7-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here.
Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.3/10. The poverty rate is 22%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
That places it #11 of 40 neighborhoods in Nashville. The closest comparables inside the same city are Hermitage and Little Kurdistan.
Social vulnerability runs high at 8.9/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Average gross rent runs $1,525, close to the Nashville average. Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $69,642.
52% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.7 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
