Westhaven Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 10,295 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Westhaven is a one-tract neighborhood of Franklin, TN, population 10,295. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. Against a Franklin baseline of 28.7%, 48% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Running cool is tenant-organizing strength, at 1/10. On the softer side is economic stress, at 1.2/10.

The severe-burden share is 15%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. That places it #11 of 13 neighborhoods in Franklin.

Against average income of $137,807, annual rent is only 17%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Average gross rent runs $1,905, close to the Franklin average. 29% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
