What drives eviction risk in White Station

Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1/10. On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10. Running cool, state political climate reads 1.9/10.

It sits 1.3 points below the Shelby County average of 4.3. Severe burden reaches 13%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Average gross rent is $1,372, 16% above the Memphis average. 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. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 1.5/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

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.

Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 19% of average household income of $87,295.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
