Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Millington
The score leans hardest on tenant organizing strength at 8.1/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores below the Shelby County average of 4.9 and in line with the Tennessee statewide average of 4.3. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.

During 2020 and 2021, eviction filings here ran at about 1.52x the pre-COVID monthly baseline, above pre-pandemic levels.
