What drives eviction risk in Beale Street Historic District

Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1.5/10. Severe burden reaches 22%. 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. At $1,466 a month, rents run 24% over what the rest of Memphis commands. Running cool, economic stress reads 2.1/10.

It sits 1.2 points below the Shelby County average of 4.3. This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Memphis. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.

On the national scale it lands near the 22nd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 1.2/10. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $76,607. 63% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
