Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Greenwood

What pushes it up most is economic stress at 10/10. The poverty rate is 60%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 27.7% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.8/10. 20% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. 65% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.

Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.6/10. Adults with no health insurance runs 18.7% against 11.3% nationally.

Average gross rent is $615, 9% below the Greenwood average. That is riskier than roughly 65% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.4/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the MS average is 4.1, so this tract runs 1.1 points hotter. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured.

It tracks the Leflore County average of 4.8 closely.

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