· range 3.6–3.6
Cherokee Village maps to a single census tract in Meridian, MS and houses 2,968 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.6/10, in the Lower tier. 19% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, clearly below the Meridian rate of 33.8%.
The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Severe burden reaches 19%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
At $1,106 a month, rents sit 22% over what the rest of Meridian commands. The poverty rate is 21%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
Well under the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength, at 2.5/10. Running cool is housing-court posture, at 2.5/10.
The voucher gap is 11.2%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. At 14% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $56,310.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.6/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
