Mockingbird Hill maps to a single census tract in Knoxville, TN, population 4,863. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs 56% against 31.9% citywide, putting Mockingbird Hill 24.2% over its own city.
The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1/10.
On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 2/10. At $1,097 a month, rents sit 8% under what the rest of Knoxville commands. That places it #42 of 60 neighborhoods in Knoxville.
Only 9% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Rent takes 9% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 1%, 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.
