Westwood Heights Eviction Risk: Moderate , Shelby

The dominant input is court filing pressure at 9/10. The severe-burden share is 27%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.2/10.

Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2.3/10. Court records carry 1,754 eviction filings across 16 observed years.

The voucher gap is 13.2%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. At $1,053 a month, rents run 11% over what the rest of Shelby commands.

The worst year on record was 2017, when 18.3% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 11.3% of renter households face a filing.

On the national scale it lands near the 49th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured. It tracks the Cleveland County average of 3.9 closely.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
