The severe-burden share is 19%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. On the softer side is economic stress, at 1.9/10. Cost burden runs 39% against 31.9% citywide, putting Deerfield 7.3% over its own city.
Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2/10. At $1,100 a month, rents sit 8% under what the rest of Knoxville commands.
