What drives eviction risk in Medical District
The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure at 1.5/10. Against Shelby County at 48.3%, 37% of renters here are cost-burdened. Running cool, state political climate reads 1.9/10.
Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 2/10. At $945 a month, rents run 20% under what the rest of Memphis commands.
Severe burden reaches 10%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. 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 #37,882 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Social vulnerability reads 7/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the TN average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.8 points hotter.
It tracks the Shelby County average of 4.3 closely. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $46,375.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
