Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Chattanooga

The score leans hardest on supply constraint at 8.9/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Chattanooga eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores below the Hamilton County average of 4.3 and below the Tennessee statewide average of 4.3. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.

The tract is predominantly White and ranks around the 14th percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a relatively low-vulnerability reading.

For a landlord, this is among the easier places to operate: faster process, lighter tenant-protection overhead, and shorter typical cases.
