Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Running cool is supply constraint, at 1.1/10. The severe-burden share is 22%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

That places it #15 of 60 neighborhoods in Knoxville. For a like-for-like read, Downtown Knoxville and Deep Creek score within a fraction of it. Social vulnerability runs high at 7.7/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.

55% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
