Hamilton maps to a single census tract in Bristol, TN, population 3,835. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, in the Lower tier. Average gross rent is $1,167, 39% above the Bristol average of $842.
Pulling the other way is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.6/10. 30% of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1.9/10.
13% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 7.2/10. The voucher gap is 11.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
Among the 4 mapped neighborhoods of Bristol, it ranks #4 by risk, the lower third. Only 15% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
For a like-for-like read, Bristol Industrial Park and West Ridge score within a fraction of it. Against average income of $77,036, annual rent is only 18%, a wide affordability cushion.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
