East Memphis Eviction Risk: Lower

Severe burden reaches 27%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1.5/10. The voucher gap is 27.1%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.9/10. It sits 1.3 points below the Shelby County average of 4.3.

Sitting well above the midpoint, supply constraint reads 7.7/10. On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. At 15% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

Social vulnerability reads 1.3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Rent consumes only 12% of average household income of $166,500, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

Statewide the TN average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler.
