Deep Creek spans 2 census tracts of Knoxville, TN and houses 7,402 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.6/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.

Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2/10. Severe burden reaches 12%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
The poverty rate is 18%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Rent consumes at least 30% of income for 34% of renter households. Among the 60 mapped neighborhoods of Knoxville, it ranks #15 by risk, the upper third.
Only 27% 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. The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.4 points apart at the extremes. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $45,378.
With little internal variation, 4.6/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
