Inskip Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 4,361 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.8/10 · range 4.8–4.8

Inskip is a one-tract quarter of Knoxville, TN, population 4,361. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.8/10, Moderate tier. Against a Knoxville baseline of 31.9%, 53% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. 24% 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. Annualized rent equals 32% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with.

On the softer side is supply constraint, at 1.8/10. Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 2/10.

The poverty rate is 19%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Average gross rent is $1,057, 11% below the Knoxville average of $1,191.

That places it #1 of 60 neighborhoods in Knoxville. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.8/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.

58% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

One tract means one number: 4.8/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
