Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Binghampton
Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1.5/10. Against Shelby County at 48.3%, 38% of renters here are cost-burdened.
Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.9/10. Running cool, supply constraint reads 2/10.
At $945 a month, rents run 20% under what the rest of Memphis commands. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. On the national scale it lands near the 44th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 8.3/10. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured. It tracks the Shelby County average of 4.3 closely.
Annual rent works out to 19% of average household income of $60,929. 34% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
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.
