Sunny Hills maps to a single census tract in Walnut Hill, TN and houses 3,640 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, in the Lower tier. At $787 a month, rents sit 35% under what the rest of Walnut Hill commands.
The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. On the softer side is economic stress, at 1.1/10. Cost burden runs 16% against 24.4% citywide, putting Sunny Hills 8.2% under its own city.
Running cool is housing-court posture, at 1.7/10. Severe burden reaches 8%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Only 13% 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. Against average income of $62,625, annual rent is only 15%, a wide affordability cushion.
Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
