Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Chattanooga

Average gross rent is $807, 36% below the Chattanooga average. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1/10. The poverty rate is 34%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

The severe-burden share is 21%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. This is renter territory: 70% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. roughly one in two of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, above the Hamilton County average of 40.3%.

On the high side, economic stress reads 8.5/10. Disability prevalence runs 45.5% against 31.5% nationally. It sits 1.0 points above the Hamilton County average of 3.9.

This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Chattanooga. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. That is riskier than roughly 59% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 9.6/10.

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