Eastover Eviction Risk: Lower

2 census tracts · pop 10,328 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Eastover is a 2-tract neighborhood of Olive Branch, MS and houses 10,328 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, in the Lower tier. The voucher gap is 48.0%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.

Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Well under the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength, at 1/10.

The severe-burden share is 23%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. On the softer side is economic stress, at 1/10.

Cost burden runs 37% against 27.5% citywide, putting Eastover 9.0% over its own city. Average gross rent is $2,005, 10% above the Olive Branch average of $1,829. Among the 4 mapped neighborhoods of Olive Branch, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third.

At 16% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. The closest comparables inside the same city are Cherokee Ridge and Legacy Park. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0 points apart at the extremes. Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $94,366.

With little internal variation, 3/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
