Marbledale Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 3,793 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.4/10 · range 3.4–3.4

Marbledale maps to a single census tract in Knoxville, TN, population 3,793. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.4/10, Lower tier. Against a Knoxville baseline of 31.9%, 43% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Running cool is supply constraint, at 1.1/10.

On the softer side is economic stress, at 1.8/10. Average gross rent is $939, 21% below the Knoxville average of $1,191. Among the 60 mapped neighborhoods of Knoxville, it ranks #33 by risk, the middle third.

At 17% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. For a like-for-like read, John Sevier and Thorn Grove score within a fraction of it. Rent takes 18% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.

Poverty sits at 7%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.4/10 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.
