Plantation Springs maps to a single census tract in Knoxville, TN and houses 4,832 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. Average gross rent is $1,629, 37% above the Knoxville average of $1,191.
The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. 42% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well above the Knoxville rate of 31.9%. Running cool is economic stress, at 1/10.
On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 2/10. The severe-burden share is 14%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Among the 60 mapped neighborhoods of Knoxville, it ranks #42 by risk, the lower third.
At 25% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. The closest comparables inside the same city are Cedarchase and Hunting Hills West. Against average income of $121,583, annual rent is only 16%, a wide affordability cushion.
Poverty sits at 2%, 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.
