Memphis Eviction Risk: Lower

Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1.4/10. Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10. On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.9/10.

It sits 1.3 points below the Shelby County average of 4.3. This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Memphis. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.

Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Only 12% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 1.1/10. Against average income of $109,846, annual rent is just 13%.

Statewide the TN average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.

Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Rent takes 30% or more of income for 50% of renters.

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