14% 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. Among the 5 mapped neighborhoods of Kingsport, it ranks #4 by risk, the lower third.
Only 21% 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 Huntington Hills and Fort Robinson. Rent takes 16% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
