Smyrna Eviction Risk: Lower

The severe-burden share is 33%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. The clearest offset is economic stress at 1.3/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.6/10. Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.6/10.

The voucher gap is 17.8%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Against the Rutherford County average of 3.9, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.8 points. On the national scale it lands near the 22nd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

At 6% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 2.7/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.

Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Rent takes 30% or more of income for 45% of renters.

Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $105,877.

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.
