Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Washington Heights

55% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well above the Knox County average of 40.9%. At $1,124 a month, rents run 36% under what the rest of Karns commands. The main counterweight is state political climate at 1.9/10.

Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.9/10. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 2.3/10.

Nationally it ranks #63,308 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Only 23% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

Social vulnerability reads 6/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Rent consumes only 15% of average household income of $87,604, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured. It tracks the Knox County average of 3.7 closely.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
