At $1,568 a month, rents sit 32% over what the rest of Knoxville commands. 16% 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. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 2/10.
That places it #42 of 60 neighborhoods in Knoxville. At 16% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
Against average income of $106,330, annual rent is only 18%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
