What drives eviction risk in Crosstown
The score leans hardest on economic stress at 10/10. The poverty rate is 47%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.
62% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly above the Shelby County average of 48.3%. Disability prevalence runs 52.6% against 31.5% nationally.
Running cool, supply constraint reads 1.3/10. Annualized rent equals 35% of average household income of $29,868, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.
This is renter territory: 68% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Average gross rent is $860, 27% below the Memphis average. Well under the midpoint, 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 18.4% against 11.3% nationally.
In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.
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.
