Sutherland Heights Eviction Risk: Moderate , Knoxville

The poverty rate is 39%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. This is renter territory: 86% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Against Knox County at 40.9%, 53% of renters here are cost-burdened.

Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10. Severe burden reaches 23%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Annualized rent equals 35% of average household income of $39,063, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.9/10.

It sits 1.1 points above the Knox County average of 3.7. Adults with no health insurance runs 19.1% against 11.3% nationally.

This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Knoxville. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. On the national scale it lands near the 58th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the TN average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points hotter.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
