Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Richwood

Against Shelby County at 48.3%, 33% of renters here are cost-burdened. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 1.5/10.

The voucher gap is 28.0%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. The severe-burden share is 20%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

Running cool, state political climate reads 1.9/10. On the softer side, economic stress reads 2/10. It sits 1.3 points below the Shelby County average of 4.3.

Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Only 23% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

Social vulnerability reads 3.5/10 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 cooler. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.

Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $101,681.

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.
