Tusculum Square is a one-tract neighborhood of Nashville, TN and houses 3,421 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5.2/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. 67% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Nashville rate of 31.8%.
Set annual rent against average household income of $46,087 and the ratio lands at 36%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. This is a renter market: 73% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.
The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.7/10. The severe-burden share is 17%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The poverty rate is 24%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.3/10. Running cool is supply constraint, at 2.6/10. Average gross rent is $1,383, 13% below the Nashville average of $1,586.
Among the 40 mapped neighborhoods of Nashville, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. Social vulnerability runs high at 9.6/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.2/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
