Timberlake Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 2,896 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Timberlake is a one-tract neighborhood of Knoxville, TN, population 2,896. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. 19% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, clearly below the Knoxville rate of 31.9%.

The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. On the softer side is economic stress, at 1.7/10.

Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2/10. That places it #42 of 60 neighborhoods in Knoxville. Only 20% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

The closest comparables inside the same city are Seven Oaks and Ritta. Poverty sits at 7%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
