Liberty Heights is a one-tract neighborhood of Morristown, TN and houses 6,092 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.6/10, in the Moderate tier. Severe burden reaches 40%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Cost burden runs 61% against 27.5% citywide, putting Liberty Heights 33.3% over its own city. The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 8.9/10. The poverty rate is 33%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
Set annual rent against average household income of $33,582 and the ratio lands at 32%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. On the high side is economic stress at 8.2/10. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.1/10.
Among the 10 mapped neighborhoods of Morristown, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. Social vulnerability runs high at 9.8/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Average gross rent runs $909, close to the Morristown average.
44% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.6/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
