Eastwood maps to a single census tract in Knoxville, TN and houses 5,102 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs 44% against 31.9% citywide, putting Eastwood 12.1% over its own city.
The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Running cool is supply constraint, at 1.3/10. The severe-burden share is 18%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2/10. At $971 a month, rents sit 18% under what the rest of Knoxville commands.
Among the 60 mapped neighborhoods of Knoxville, it ranks #42 by risk, the lower third. Only 17% 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 closest comparables inside the same city are Cedarchase and Seven Oaks.
Rent takes 14% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
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.
