Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Egypt

Severe burden reaches 36%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. The dominant input is economic stress at 10/10. The poverty rate is 47%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

Disability prevalence runs 51.2% against 31.5% nationally. Set annual rent against average income of $36,166 and the ratio lands at 39%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. 76% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.

Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10. Running cool, state political climate reads 1.9/10. Against the Shelby County average of 4.3, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.1 points.

Adults with no health insurance runs 21.0% against 11.3% nationally. Nationally it ranks #24,859 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Social vulnerability reads 9.9/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Statewide the TN average is 3.9, so this tract runs 1.5 points hotter. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
