Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 2/10. On the softer side is tenant-organizing strength, at 2/10. 33% of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent.
12% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. Average gross rent is $1,268, 6% above the Knoxville average of $1,191.
Among the 60 mapped neighborhoods of Knoxville, it ranks #39 by risk, the middle third. For a like-for-like read, West Hills and Thorn Grove score within a fraction of it.
Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $72,840. 34% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.2/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
