Northbrook is a one-tract neighborhood of Knoxville, TN and houses 3,898 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. At $1,617 a month, rents sit 36% over what the rest of Knoxville commands.
The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. On the softer side is economic stress, at 1/10.
The severe-burden share is 18%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Cost burden runs 26% against 31.9% citywide, putting Northbrook 6.4% under its own city.
Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 2/10. Among the 60 mapped neighborhoods of Knoxville, it ranks #42 by risk, the lower third.
Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 29% of average household income of $66,890.
34% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 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.
