North Knoxville maps to a single census tract in Knoxville, TN and houses 2,524 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 4.4/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Knoxville baseline of 31.9%, 45% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2/10.
16% 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. Running cool is tenant-organizing strength, at 2/10.
The poverty rate is 18%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Average gross rent is $1,085, 9% below the Knoxville average of $1,191. That places it #17 of 60 neighborhoods in Knoxville.
At 25% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $64,779.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.4/10 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.
