Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Hedgerow

Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.9/10. 18% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. The poverty rate is 25%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

At $1,442 a month, rents run 22% over what the rest of Memphis commands. Against the Shelby County average of 4.3, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.8 points. That is riskier than roughly 63% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

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. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 7.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the TN average is 3.9, so this tract runs 1.2 points hotter. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. 51% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent.

Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $66,679.

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.
