Hillmont Heights Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 3,036 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Hillmont Heights maps to a single census tract in Johnson City, TN, population 3,036. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. At $595 a month, rents sit 42% under what the rest of Johnson City commands.

The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 1/10. roughly one in three of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent.

Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, 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 #12 by risk, the lower third.

The closest comparables inside the same city are The Y and Tanglewood. Against average income of $52,083, annual rent is only 14%, a wide affordability cushion. 40% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
