Murfreesboro Eviction Risk: Moderate

Severe burden reaches 26%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. 79% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.2/10.

The poverty rate is 26%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Average gross rent is $1,134, 23% below the Murfreesboro average.

Running cool, state political climate reads 1.9/10. 53% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, above the Rutherford County average of 47.9%. Against the Rutherford County average of 3.9, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.9 points.

On the national scale it lands near the 58th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 9.5/10 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 socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
