Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Westwood

66% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly above the Shelby County average of 48.3%. Annualized rent equals 38% of average household income of $37,299, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 1.5/10. Disability prevalence runs 46.7% against 31.5% nationally.

Running cool, state political climate reads 1.9/10. It sits 0.7 points above the Shelby County average of 4.3. That is riskier than roughly 61% 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 8.2/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the TN average is 3.9, so this tract runs 1.1 points hotter. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured.

Average gross rent is $1,183, close to the Memphis average. 27% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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.
