Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Southaven

What moves this score most is economic stress at 4.1/10. 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 below the DeSoto County average of 4.0 and below the Mississippi statewide average of 4.7. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.

The tract is White and Black and ranks around the 85th percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. High vulnerability tends to track with higher eviction-filing rates when rents climb.

In CDC survey modeling, about 18.7% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 12.3% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.

For a landlord, this is among the easier places to operate: faster process, lighter tenant-protection overhead, and shorter typical cases.
