Ashley Oaks Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 4,704 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Ashley Oaks maps to a single census tract in Knoxville, TN, population 4,704. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, in the Lower tier. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.

At $1,558 a month, rents sit 31% over what the rest of Knoxville commands. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1.5/10.

Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 2/10. Cost burden runs 36% against 31.9% citywide, putting Ashley Oaks 4.4% over its own city. That places it #42 of 60 neighborhoods in Knoxville.

Only 10% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. For a like-for-like read, Seven Oaks and Hunting Hills West score within a fraction of it. Rent takes 19% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.

Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
