Hidden Hills Eviction Risk: Moderate

2 census tracts · pop 10,204 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.1/10 · range 3–4.6

Hidden Hills is a 2-tract neighborhood of Smyrna, TN and houses 10,204 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.1/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 53% against 29.7% citywide, putting Hidden Hills 23.6% over its own city.

What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 8.6/10. 21% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.

On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.6/10. At $1,833 a month, rents sit 25% over what the rest of Smyrna commands. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 3 to 4.6, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk.

Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 2.5/10. That places it #5 of 5 neighborhoods in Smyrna.

For a like-for-like read, Johnstown and Cedar Forest score within a fraction of it. Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $95,948. 32% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.6 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
