East Ridge Eviction Risk: Moderate

On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.9/10. Severe burden reaches 17%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Against Hamilton County at 40.3%, 49% of renters here are cost-burdened.

Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.2/10. Against the Hamilton County average of 3.9, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.7 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.

That is riskier than roughly 53% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 7.1/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured. Average gross rent is $1,181, close to the East Ridge average.

Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $60,698. 39% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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