Westover Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 4,391 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.8/10 · range 4.8–4.8

Westover is a one-tract neighborhood of Johnson City, TN, population 4,391. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.8/10, Moderate tier. Against a Johnson City baseline of 29.8%, 53% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. 22% 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.

At $904 a month, rents sit 12% under what the rest of Johnson City commands. That places it #1 of 15 neighborhoods in Johnson City.

The closest comparables inside the same city are Holly Hill and Melrose. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $45,496. 40% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
