Loveland Eviction Risk: Moderate

2 census tracts · pop 6,162 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4/10 · range 3.1–4.8

Loveland is a 2-tract neighborhood of Knoxville, TN and houses 6,162 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4/10, Moderate tier. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.

The severe-burden share is 22%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The 2 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 3.1 to 4.8, a 1.7-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.

Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2/10. On the softer side is tenant-organizing strength, at 2/10.

Rent consumes at least 30% of income for 34% of renter households. Average gross rent is $1,070, 10% below the Knoxville average of $1,191. That places it #22 of 60 neighborhoods in Knoxville.

For a like-for-like read, Kingston Hills and Greenwood Heights score within a fraction of it. Social vulnerability runs high at 7.6/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.

Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $49,365. 39% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.7 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
