Binghampton Eviction Risk: Moderate

6 census tracts · pop 13,377 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.2/10 · range 4.1–5.4

Binghampton takes in 6 census tracts of Memphis, TN and houses 13,377 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5.2/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Against a Memphis baseline of 33.2%, roughly one in two of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

36% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.

The poverty rate is 31%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 1.9/10. Average gross rent is $933, 21% below the Memphis average of $1,181.

Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 4.1 to 5.4, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. On the high side is economic stress at 7.8/10.

Among the 26 mapped neighborhoods of Memphis, it ranks #8 by risk, the upper third. For a like-for-like read, Westwood and Whitehaven score within a fraction of it. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.7/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.

Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $41,138. 54% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 5.2 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
