What drives eviction risk in Orange Mound
29% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure at 1.5/10.
The voucher gap is 27.2%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.9/10. 56% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, higher than the Shelby County average of 48.3%.
Sitting well above the midpoint, supply constraint reads 7.7/10. 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. That is riskier than roughly 35% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 1.4/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. It tracks the Shelby County average of 4.3 closely.
Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $85,523. 47% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
