Lincoln Park maps to a single census tract in Knoxville, TN and houses 3,406 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.5/10, Lower tier. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
Against a Knoxville baseline of 31.9%, about one in five of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2/10.
Running cool is tenant-organizing strength, at 2/10. 9% 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.
Average gross rent is $1,295, 9% above the Knoxville average of $1,191. 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 22% of average household income of $71,250. 47% 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. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
