Spring Branch is a one-tract neighborhood of Smyrna, TN and houses 2,836 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.5/10, Moderate tier. 56% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Smyrna rate of 29.7%.
Average gross rent is $591, 60% below the Smyrna average of $1,461. Pulling the other way is supply constraint, at 1/10. Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 8.6/10.
This is a renter market: 69% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. The severe-burden share is 19%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.6/10.
The poverty rate is 22%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Among the 5 mapped neighborhoods of Smyrna, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. The closest comparables inside the same city are Cedar Forest and Johnstown.
Social vulnerability runs high at 9.3/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Rent takes 17% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.5/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
