Burlington is a one-tract suburb of Knoxville, TN and houses 1,439 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.3/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Knoxville baseline of 31.9%, 81% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
Severe burden reaches 37%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
On the softer side is supply constraint, at 1.4/10. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2/10.
At $991 a month, rents sit 17% under what the rest of Knoxville commands. Among the 60 mapped neighborhoods of Knoxville, it ranks #18 by risk, the upper third. For a like-for-like read, North Knoxville and Whites Village score within a fraction of it.
Social vulnerability runs high at 8.4/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $46,384. 42% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
