Powell Heights Eviction Risk: Lower

Running cool, state political climate reads 1.9/10. Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 2/10. Average gross rent is $1,498, 17% above the Powell average.

36% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, lower than the Knox County average of 40.9%. It sits 0.7 points below the Knox County average of 3.7.

That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 22% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 4.9/10.

Statewide the TN average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Annual rent works out to 19% of average household income of $93,338.

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