Southaven Eviction Risk: Moderate

The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. The poverty rate is 35%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

Running hot, economic stress reads 8.8/10. about half of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly above the DeSoto County average of 38.3%.

Well under the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 1.5/10. At $1,184 a month, rents run 18% under what the rest of Southaven commands. Housing insecurity runs 22.9% against 14.2% nationally.

Against the DeSoto County average of 3.7, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.9 points. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 16.5% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

On the national scale it lands near the 53rd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured.

Annual rent works out to 31% of average household income of $46,005. 57% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
