What drives eviction risk in Medical District
This is renter territory: 98% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Severe burden reaches 31%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 1.5/10.
On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.6/10. The poverty rate is 30%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
Average gross rent is $898, 24% below the Memphis average. Running cool, state political climate reads 1.9/10. Disability prevalence runs 43.5% against 31.5% nationally.
Against the Shelby County average of 4.3, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.1 points. Against Shelby County at 48.3%, 54% of renters here are cost-burdened. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). 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 #24,859 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
