Island Brook is a one-tract neighborhood of Hendersonville, TN, population 5,879. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.7/10, in the Lower tier. 47% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, clearly above the Hendersonville rate of 28.7%.
The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.6/10. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 1.7/10. Severe burden reaches 20%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Average gross rent is $1,232, 25% below the Hendersonville average of $1,653. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.2/10. Rent takes 19% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. 36% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 3.7/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
