Echo Valley is a one-tract neighborhood of Knoxville, TN and houses 6,717 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.5/10, in the Lower tier. Against a Knoxville baseline of 31.9%, about half of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The severe-burden share is 30%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
Average gross rent is $1,574, 32% above the Knoxville average of $1,191. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2/10.
On the softer side is tenant-organizing strength, at 2/10. That places it #29 of 60 neighborhoods in Knoxville. For a like-for-like read, John Sevier and Smithwood score within a fraction of it.
Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $69,623. 35% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.5/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
