Crestwood Hills maps to a single census tract in Knoxville, TN, population 4,284. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.8/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 59% against 31.9% citywide, putting Crestwood Hills 27.2% over its own city.
Annualized rent equals 41% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with. 84% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over.
Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. 27% 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.
The poverty rate is 28%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2/10.
On the softer side is tenant-organizing strength, at 2/10. At $1,284 a month, rents sit 8% over what the rest of Knoxville commands.
That places it #1 of 60 neighborhoods in Knoxville.
One tract means one number: 4.8/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
