On the high side is economic stress at 7.9/10. Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.4/10. The filing record is not thin: 1,499 evictions logged in this tract.
Average gross rent is $803, 15% below the Shelby average of $945. Filing activity peaked in 2002 at 20.3% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 15.9% in 2018 against a 20.3% peak.
Among the 7 mapped neighborhoods of Shelby, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.2/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $35,804.
55% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 5.4/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
