Knoxville Eviction Risk: Moderate

What pushes it up most is economic stress at 10/10. Severe burden reaches 35%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. The poverty rate is 52%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10. Annualized rent equals 34% of average household income of $41,622, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. This is renter territory: 68% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.9/10. It sits 1.1 points above the Knox County average of 3.7.

On the national scale it lands near the 58th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 3.7/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Statewide the TN average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Average gross rent is $1,191, close to the Knoxville average.

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