Seven Oaks is a one-tract neighborhood of Knoxville, TN and houses 5,166 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. Cost burden runs 53% against 31.9% citywide, putting Seven Oaks 21.3% over its own city.
Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Average gross rent is $1,573, 32% above the Knoxville average of $1,191. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1.4/10.
Severe burden reaches 20%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. 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 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $91,705. 45% 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.
