Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Egypt

Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1.5/10. Running cool, state political climate reads 1.9/10.

12% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. On the softer side, economic stress reads 2.6/10. Nationally it ranks #54,273 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Social vulnerability reads 6.7/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured. It tracks the Shelby County average of 4.3 closely.

Average gross rent is $1,206, close to the Memphis average. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $60,284. 42% 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.
