Smokerise is a one-tract neighborhood of Morristown, TN, population 5,058. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 8.9/10.
On the softer side is economic stress, at 1.5/10. Average gross rent is $1,088, 23% above the Morristown average of $882.
Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.1/10. 9% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. Cost burden runs 24% against 27.5% citywide, putting Smokerise 3.4% under its own city.
Among the 10 mapped neighborhoods of Morristown, it ranks #9 by risk, the lower third. At 16% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Rent takes 15% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
