Chattanooga Eviction Risk: Moderate

The poverty rate is 31%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Running cool, supply constraint reads 1.7/10. Severe burden reaches 19%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

At $961 a month, rents run 23% under what the rest of Chattanooga commands. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.9/10. Against the Hamilton County average of 3.9, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.0 points.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). 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 59th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 9/10. Statewide the TN average is 3.9, so this tract runs 1.0 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured.

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