Severe burden reaches 18%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Running cool is economic stress, at 1.9/10.
Average gross rent is $1,357, 7% below the Smyrna average of $1,461. Among the 5 mapped neighborhoods of Smyrna, it ranks #3 by risk, the middle third. Poverty sits at 7%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

With little internal variation, 4.5/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
