Beale Street Historic District Eviction Risk: Moderate , Memphis

Average gross rent is $403, 66% below the Memphis average. The poverty rate is 58%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Disability prevalence runs 53.8% against 31.5% nationally.

Severe burden reaches 27%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. 86% 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.

Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1/10. On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10. Against the Shelby County average of 4.3, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.1 points.

Adults with no health insurance runs 21.4% against 11.3% nationally. 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 70th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

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