What drives eviction risk in Nashville
Severe burden reaches 24%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 1.7/10.
Running cool, state political climate reads 1.9/10. The poverty rate is 23%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Against the Davidson County average of 3.9, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.3 points.
Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.3/10. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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 65th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 5.5/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the TN average is 3.9, so this tract runs 1.3 points hotter.
