Greenway maps to a single census tract in Knoxville, TN and houses 4,869 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 4.8/10, in the Moderate tier. 54% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Knoxville rate of 31.9%.
32% 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 clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Annualized rent equals 34% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with.
Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2/10. Running cool is tenant-organizing strength, at 2/10.
The poverty rate is 21%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. That places it #1 of 60 neighborhoods in Knoxville. The closest comparables inside the same city are Parkridge and Mule Hollow.
Average gross rent runs $1,196, close to the Knoxville average. 56% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.8/10 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.
