Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Horn Lake
What moves this score most is tenant organizing strength at 8.2/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Horn Lake eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the DeSoto County average of 4.0 and in line with the Mississippi statewide average of 4.7. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.
The tract is Black and White and ranks around the 58th percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a middle-of-the-pack reading for social vulnerability.
In CDC survey modeling, about 18.5% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 12.3% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.
For a landlord, conditions here are middle-of-the-road. Standard screening and prompt, documented notices usually keep cases short.
