50% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, higher than the Knox County average of 40.9%. Running cool, state political climate reads 1.9/10.

This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Knoxville.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 2.8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
