East Ridge maps to a single census tract in Johnson City, TN, population 3,307. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.8/10, Moderate tier. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
This is a renter market: 73% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. 39% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, above the Johnson City rate of 29.8%. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2/10.
At $801 a month, rents sit 22% under what the rest of Johnson City commands. The poverty rate is 23%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
On the softer side is tenant-organizing strength, at 2/10. 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 15 mapped neighborhoods of Johnson City, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third.
Social vulnerability runs high at 8.7/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $35,064.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.8/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
