Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Hickory Hill

Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.9/10. Nationally it ranks #35,669 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. 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.

Social vulnerability reads 8.5/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the TN average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points hotter.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured. Rent takes 30% or more of income for 50% of renters.

It tracks the Shelby County average of 4.3 closely. Average gross rent is $1,167, close to the Memphis average.
