Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Southaven

The heaviest input here is economic stress at 4.5/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures.

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.

In CDC survey modeling, about 19.3% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 12.4% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.

The tract is predominantly White and ranks around the 36th percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a relatively low-vulnerability reading.

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