Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Hickory Hill

71% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. The severe-burden share is 19%, 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. Cost burden runs 55% here against 48.3% across Shelby County.

The poverty rate is 19%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. It sits 0.7 points above the Shelby County average of 4.3.

Nationally it ranks #32,842 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Statute speed, court posture and rent-regulation exposure are inherited from Memphis eviction risk rather than measured on these blocks; the economic and supply components are the tract-level part of the score.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 8.7/10. Statewide the TN average is 3.9, so this tract runs 1.1 points hotter.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured. Average gross rent is $1,157, close to the Memphis average.

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.
