Cherokee Ridge is a one-tract neighborhood of Olive Branch, MS and houses 2,694 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, in the Lower tier. The severe-burden share is 59%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
59% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Olive Branch rate of 27.5%. Average gross rent is $3,501, 91% above the Olive Branch average of $1,829.
What pushes the score up most is supply constraint at 10/10. The voucher gap is 158.4%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Annualized rent equals 39% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with.
On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Well under the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength, at 1/10. SNAP participation is 6.5% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
That places it #1 of 4 neighborhoods in Olive Branch. Only 9% 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. For a like-for-like read, Eastover and Legacy Park score within a fraction of it.
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.
