Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Hickory Hill

The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 1.5/10. 59% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well above the Shelby County average of 48.3%.

Severe burden reaches 21%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.9/10. The poverty rate is 24%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 2.2/10. Against the Shelby County average of 4.3, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.1 points. At $978 a month, rents run 17% under what the rest of Memphis commands.

On the national scale it lands near the 70th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 6.3/10 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 household composition measure is the least pressured. Annual rent works out to 32% of average household income of $37,005.

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.
