Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Southaven

The heaviest input here is economic stress at 4.3/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Southaven eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores about the same as the DeSoto County average of 4.0 and below the Mississippi statewide average of 4.7. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.

The tract is White and Black and ranks around the 61st percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a middle-of-the-pack reading for social vulnerability.

In CDC survey modeling, about 16.9% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 10.7% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.

For a landlord, conditions here are middle-of-the-road. Standard screening and prompt, documented notices usually keep cases short.
