Edgewood is a one-tract neighborhood of Morristown, TN and houses 3,181 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 4.1/10, in the Moderate tier. 56% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the Morristown rate of 27.5%.
Severe burden reaches 32%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 8.9/10.
Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.1/10. On the high side is housing-court posture at 7.7/10. Among the 10 mapped neighborhoods of Morristown, it ranks #5 by risk, the middle third.
Only 13% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. For a like-for-like read, Ridgewood and Roe Junction score within a fraction of it. Average gross rent runs $918, close to the Morristown average.
Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $49,950.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.1/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
