Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Cherokee Hills

The score leans hardest on economic stress at 8.5/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Washington County average of 4.0 and above the Tennessee statewide average of 4.3. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.
