Midtown Eviction Risk: Lower , Memphis

The main counterweight is economic stress at 1/10. Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10. Severe burden reaches 18%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Running cool, state political climate reads 1.9/10. It sits 1.3 points below the Shelby County average of 4.3. At $1,404 a month, rents run 19% over what the rest of Memphis commands.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). 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. Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Only 19% 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.

Social vulnerability reads 2/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Rent consumes only 16% of average household income of $104,605, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

Statewide the TN average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.

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.
