Yorktown is a one-tract neighborhood of Franklin, TN and houses 5,782 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. The voucher gap is 33.1%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.

The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. On the softer side is tenant-organizing strength, at 1/10.

At $2,431 a month, rents sit 26% over what the rest of Franklin commands. Running cool is economic stress, at 1.4/10. Against a Franklin baseline of 28.7%, about a quarter of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

Among the 13 mapped neighborhoods of Franklin, it ranks #11 by risk, the lower third. At 10% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $133,125.

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.
