Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Pigeon Forge
What moves this score most is tenant organizing strength at 9.2/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Pigeon Forge, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores about the same as the Sevier County average of 4.2 and in line with the Tennessee statewide average of 4.3. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.
The tract is predominantly White and ranks around the 56th percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a middle-of-the-pack reading for social vulnerability.
For a landlord, conditions here are middle-of-the-road. Standard screening and prompt, documented notices usually keep cases short.
