Monticello Eviction Risk: Lower

2 census tracts · pop 8,644 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.2/10 · range 3.1–3.3

Monticello is a 2-tract neighborhood of Franklin, TN and houses 8,644 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.2/10, in the Lower tier. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.

On the softer side is tenant-organizing strength, at 1/10. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1/10.

Against a Franklin baseline of 28.7%, 36% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. 17% 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. The voucher gap is 20.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.

Average gross rent is $2,203, 15% above the Franklin average of $1,923. That places it #10 of 13 neighborhoods in Franklin.

Only 15% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.2 points apart at the extremes. Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $112,498.

With little internal variation, 3.2/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
