Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Wedgewood-Houston

At $725 a month, rents run 54% under what the rest of Nashville commands. What pushes it up most is economic stress at 9.7/10. The poverty rate is 39%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1/10. Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.7/10. Against the Davidson County average of 3.9, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.3 points.

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 65th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.1/10, 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. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured.

47% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
