Green Hills Eviction Risk: Moderate

2 census tracts · pop 6,348 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.5/10 · range 5.5–5.5

Green Hills is a 2-tract neighborhood of Springfield, TN, population 6,348. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5.5/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Against a Springfield baseline of 28.4%, 43% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

Pulling the other way is supply constraint, at 1/10. Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 8.6/10. The poverty rate is 27%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.

Severe burden reaches 16%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. At $909 a month, rents sit 20% under what the rest of Springfield commands. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.2/10.

For a like-for-like read, Flats at Mooreland and Summit View score within a fraction of it. Social vulnerability runs high at 9.1/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Rent takes 19% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.

Its 2 tracts score within 0 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses. 51% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
