Seymour Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 6,216 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Seymour is a one-tract suburb of Seymour, TN, population 6,216. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. The voucher gap is 40.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.

The strongest single driver of the headline number is supply constraint at 9.1/10. Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.4/10.

Against a Seymour baseline of 22.9%, 15% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. The severe-burden share is 10%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 2.9/10. Average gross rent is $1,615, 7% above the Seymour average of $1,515. Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $87,153.

32% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 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.
