Legacy Park Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 4,856 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Legacy Park maps to a single census tract in Olive Branch, MS and houses 4,856 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs 40% against 27.5% citywide, putting Legacy Park 12.1% over its own city.

The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Running cool is tenant-organizing strength, at 1/10.

On the softer side is economic stress, at 1/10. The severe-burden share is 17%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

The voucher gap is 18.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Average gross rent is $1,603, 12% below the Olive Branch average of $1,829.

That places it #1 of 4 neighborhoods in Olive Branch. At 14% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. For a like-for-like read, Eastover and Cherokee Ridge score within a fraction of it.

Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $76,277.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
