Colonial Village is a one-tract quarter of Knoxville, TN and houses 4,327 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs 61% against 31.9% citywide, putting Colonial Village 28.9% over its own city.
Severe burden reaches 28%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
On the softer side is economic stress, at 1.6/10. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2/10. Among the 60 mapped neighborhoods of Knoxville, it ranks #42 by risk, the lower third.
At 16% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. For a like-for-like read, Cedarchase and Seven Oaks score within a fraction of it. Rent takes 18% 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. Average gross rent runs $1,142, close to the Knoxville average.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 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.
