Holston Hills maps to a single census tract in Knoxville, TN, population 2,286. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.1/10, in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs 20% against 31.9% citywide, putting Holston Hills 11.7% under its own city.
The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 2/10. Well under the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength, at 2/10.
At $1,397 a month, rents sit 17% over what the rest of Knoxville commands. The severe-burden share is 9%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
That places it #40 of 60 neighborhoods in Knoxville. Only 11% 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. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $79,655.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.1/10 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.
