Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Hickory Hill

Severe burden reaches 26%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure at 1.5/10. On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.9/10.

The poverty rate is 18%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. On the national scale it lands near the 53rd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

The legal-climate inputs (statute speed, court posture, rent-regulation exposure) come from Memphis eviction risk as a whole. Only the economic and supply signals are measured inside this tract. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.1/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured. It tracks the Shelby County average of 4.3 closely. Average gross rent is $1,248, close to the Memphis average.

Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $59,533. 46% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
