Fort Robinson Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 2,590 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.8/10 · range 3.8–3.8

Fort Robinson maps to a single census tract in Kingsport, TN and houses 2,590 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.8/10, in the Lower tier. Severe burden reaches 41%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

59% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the Kingsport rate of 29.5%. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.5/10.

Running cool is tenant-organizing strength, at 1.5/10. The poverty rate is 18%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.

That places it #3 of 5 neighborhoods in Kingsport. Only 23% 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. The closest comparables inside the same city are Hemlock Park and Riverview.

Average gross rent runs $868, close to the Kingsport average. Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $47,726.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.8/10 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.
